Psalms 119:156-161

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.

¹⁶⁰The essence of your word is truth; every one of your righteous decrees lasts forever.

¹⁶¹Princes persecute me without cause, but my heart stands in awe of your word.
