Psalms 119:150-168

¹⁵⁰Those who have evil designs against me come near; they are far from your law.

¹⁵¹You are near, O Lord; and all your teachings are true.

¹⁵²I have long had knowledge that your unchanging word is for ever.

¹⁵³RESH O see my trouble, and be my saviour; for I keep your law in my mind,

¹⁵⁴Undertake my cause, and come to my help, give me life, as you have said.

¹⁵⁵Salvation is far from evil-doers; for they have made no search for your rules.

¹⁵⁶Great is the number of your mercies, O Lord; give me life in keeping with your decisions.

¹⁵⁷Great is the number of those who are against me; but I have not been turned away from your unchanging word.

¹⁵⁸I saw with hate those who were untrue to you; for they did not keep your saying.

¹⁵⁹See how great is my love for your orders: give me life, O Lord, in keeping with your mercy.

¹⁶⁰Your word is true from the first; and your upright decision is unchanging for ever.

¹⁶¹SHIN Rulers have been cruel to me without cause; but I have the fear of your word in my heart.

¹⁶²I am delighted by your saying, like a man who makes discovery of great wealth.

¹⁶³I am full of hate and disgust for false words; but I am a lover of your law.

¹⁶⁴Seven times a day do I give you praise, because of your upright decisions.

¹⁶⁵Great peace have lovers of your law; they have no cause for falling.

¹⁶⁶Lord, my hope has been in your salvation; and I have kept your teachings.

¹⁶⁷My soul has kept your unchanging word; great is my love for it.

¹⁶⁸I have been ruled by your orders; for all my ways are before you.
