151 But you are near to me, Lord,and all your commands are permanent.
152 Long ago I learnt about your instructions;you made them to last for ever.
153 Look at my suffering, and save me,because I have not neglected your law.
154 Defend my cause, and set me free;save me, as you have promised.
155 The wicked will not be saved,for they do not obey your laws.
156 But your compassion, Lord, is great;show your mercy and save me!
157 I have many enemies and oppressors,but I do not fail to obey your laws.
