155 Salvation is far from the wickedbecause they haven’t pursued your statutes.
156 You have so much compassion, Lord—make me live again, according to your rules.
157 My oppressors and enemies are many,but I haven’t turned away from your laws.
158 I look on the faithless, and I am disgustedbecause they haven’t kept your word.
159 Look at how much I love your precepts.Make me live again, Lord, according to your faithful love!
160 The first thing to know about your word is that it is trueand that all your righteous rules last forever.
161 Rulers oppress me without cause,but my heart honors what you’ve said.
