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.
