151But you, Lord, are close beside me; all your commandments are true.
152Long ago I realized that your laws will last forever.
153Resh Please look at my suffering and save me! I have not forgotten your teachings.
154Plead my case, and save me as you promised! Let me live!
155Wicked people can't be saved, because they don't care about what you say.
156Lord, your mercy is so great! Because you are always fair, please let me live!
157Despite the many people who persecute and mistreat me, I have not strayed from your laws.
