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.
169TAU Let my cry come before you, O Lord; give me wisdom in keeping with your word.
170Let my prayer come before you; take me out of trouble, as you have said.
171Let my lips be flowing with praise, because you have given me knowledge of your rules.
