154Plead my cause, and deliver me: according to thy promise do thou revive me.
155Far from the wicked is salvation; because thy statutes have they not sought for.
156Thy mercies are abundant, O Lord; according to thy decrees do thou revive me.
157Many are my persecutors and my assailants: yet from thy testimonies do I not turn away.
158I beheld the treacherous, and felt disgust; because they observed not thy saying.
159Behold that I love thy precepts: O Lord, according to thy kindness do thou revive me.
160The summit of thy word is truth: and the whole of thy righteous judgment endureth for ever.
161SHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause; but of thy word standeth my heart in dread.
