157 Many are those who persecute me and who trouble me. I have not turned away from your testimonies.
158 I saw the prevaricators, and I pine away. For they have not kept your word.
159 O Lord, see how I have loved your commandments. Revive me in your mercy.
160 The beginning of your words is truth. All the judgments of your justice are for eternity.
161 SIN. The leaders have persecuted me without cause. And my heart has been awed by your words.
162 I will rejoice over your eloquence, like one who has found many spoils.
163 I have held hatred for iniquity, and I have abhorred it. Yet I have loved your law.
