155 Wicked people are far from being saved,because they have not searched for your laws.
156 Your acts of compassion are many in number, O Lord.Give me a new life guided by your regulations.
157 I have many persecutors and opponents,⌊yet⌋ I have not turned away from your written instructions.
158 I have seen traitors,and I am filled with disgust.They have not accepted your promise.
159 See how I have loved your guiding principles!O Lord, in keeping with your mercy, give me a new life.
160 There is nothing but truth in your word,and all of your righteous regulations endure forever.
161 Influential people have persecuted me for no reason,but it is only your words that fill my heart with terror.
