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.
162 I’m overjoyed at your word,like someone who finds great treasure.
163 I hate, I absolutely despise, what is false,but I’m in love with your Instruction.
164 I praise you seven times a dayfor your righteous rules.
