153 Regard my grief and rescue me,
for I do not forget your laws;
154 as you have promised, save me, LORD;
redeem my soul, and plead my cause.
155 Salvation’s far from wicked ones
who do not seek your statutes, LORD.
156 Great are your mercies, let me see
your justice as promised by your word.
157 I bear the spite of many foes,
yet from your law I do not swerve;
158 I see the faithless and am grieved;
your commands they do not observe.
159 See how I love your precepts, LORD;
in loving-kindness revive me.
160 The sum of all your word is truth,
your word abides eternally.
