Psalms 119:150-159

¹⁵⁰Those who are persecuting me are coming closer to me, but they are far from your law.

¹⁵¹You are near, Yahweh, and all your commandments are trustworthy.

¹⁵²Long ago I learned from your covenant decrees that you had set them in place forever.

¹⁵³Look on my affliction and help me, for I do not forget your law.

¹⁵⁴Plead my cause and redeem me; keep me, as you have promised in your word.

¹⁵⁵Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not love your statutes.

¹⁵⁶Great are your merciful actions, Yahweh; keep me alive, as you always do.

¹⁵⁷My persecutors and my foes are many, yet I have not turned from your covenant decrees.

¹⁵⁸I view the treacherous with disgust because they do not keep your word.

¹⁵⁹See how I love your instructions; keep me alive, Yahweh, as you have promised by your covenant faithfulness.
