156 You are merciful, Lord!Please do the right thingand save my life.
157 I have a lot of brutal enemies,but still I never turnfrom your laws.
158 All those unfaithful peoplewho refuse to obey youare disgusting to me.
159 Remember how I love your laws,and show your love for meby keeping me safe.
160 All you say can be trusted;your teachings are trueand will last for ever.
161 Rulers are cruel to mefor no reason.But with all my heartI respect your words,
162 because they bring happinesslike treasures taken in war.
