156 Great are Your mercies, Lord; Revive me according to Your judgments. 157Many are my persecutors and my enemies, Yet I do not turn aside from Your testimonies. 158I see the treacherous and loathe them, Because they do not keep Your word. 159Consider how I love Your precepts; Revive me, Lord, according to Your faithfulness. 160The sum of Your word is truth, And every one of Your righteous judgments is everlasting. 161Rulers persecute me without cause, But my heart stands in awe of Your words. 162I rejoice at Your word, Like one who finds great plunder. 163I hate and loathe falsehood, But I love Your Law. 164Seven times a day I praise You Because of Your righteous judgments. 165Those who love Your Law have great peace, And nothing causes them to stumble. 166I hope for Your salvation, Lord, And do Your commandments. 167My soul keeps Your testimonies, And I love them exceedingly. 168I keep Your precepts and Your testimonies, For all my ways are before You. 169Let my cry come before You, Lord; Give me understanding according to Your word. 170Let my pleading come before You; Save me according to Your word. 171Let my lips pour out praise, For You teach me Your statutes. 172Let my tongue sing about Your word, For all Your commandments are righteousness. 173Let Your hand be ready to help me, For I have chosen Your precepts.King James Version
