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.
161 SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause, but my heart stands in awe of thy words.
