154 Plead my cause and redeem me; quicken me according to thy spoken word.
155 Saving health is far from the wicked, for they do not seek thy statutes.
156 Many are thy tender mercies, O Lord: cause me to live according to thy judgments.
157 Many are my persecutors and my enemies; yet I do not deviate from thy testimonies.
158 I beheld the transgressors and was grieved because they did not keep thy words.
159 Consider, O Lord, that I love thy precepts; cause me to live according to thy mercy.
160 The beginning of thy word is truth, and every one of the judgments of thy righteousness is eternal.
