155 Salvation is from sinners far;for they seek not thy laws.
156 O Lord, both great and manifoldthy tender mercies be:According to thy judgments just,revive and quicken me.
157 My persecutors many are,and foes that do combine;Yet from thy testimonies puremy heart doth not decline.
158 I saw transgressors, and was griev'd;for they keep not thy word.
159 See how I love thy law! as thouart kind, me quicken, Lord.
160 From the beginning all thy wordhath been most true and sure:Thy righteous judgments ev'ry onefor evermore endure.
161 Princes have persecuted me,although no cause they saw:But still of thy most holy wordmy heart doth stand in awe.
