156 Your compassion is great, O Lord;in accord with your judgments, give me life.
157 Though my persecutors and foes are many,I do not turn from your testimonies.
158 I view the faithless with loathingbecause they do not heed your promise.
159 See how I love your precepts, Lord;in your mercy give me life.
160 Your every word is enduring;all your righteous judgments are forever.
161 Princes persecute me without reason,but my heart reveres only your word.
162 I rejoice at your promise,as one who has found rich spoil.
