Psalm 119:153-176

153Look on my suffering and deliver me, for I have not forgotten your law.

154Defend my cause and redeem me; preserve my life according to your promise.

155Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek out your decrees.

156Your compassion, LORD, is great; preserve my life according to your laws.

157Many are the foes who persecute me, but I have not turned from your statutes.

158I look on the faithless with loathing, for they do not obey your word.

159See how I love your precepts; preserve my life, LORD, in accordance with your love.

160All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal. ש Sin and Shin

161Rulers persecute me without cause, but my heart trembles at your word.

162I rejoice in your promise like one who finds great spoil.

163I hate and detest falsehood but I love your law.

164Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws.

165Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.

166I wait for your salvation, LORD, and I follow your commands.

167I obey your statutes, for I love them greatly.

168I obey your precepts and your statutes, for all my ways are known to you. ת Taw

169May my cry come before you, LORD ; give me understanding according to your word.

170May my supplication come before you; deliver me according to your promise.

171May my lips overflow with praise, for you teach me your decrees.

172May my tongue sing of your word, for all your commands are righteous.

173May your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.

174I long for your salvation, LORD, and your law gives me delight.

175Let me live that I may praise you, and may your laws sustain me. 176I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commands.
