155 Salvation is far from the wicked,for they do not seek out your decrees.
156 Your compassion, Lord, is great;preserve my life according to your laws.
157 Many are the foes who persecute me,but I have not turned from your statutes.
158 I look on the faithless with loathing,for they do not obey your word.
159 See how I love your precepts;preserve my life, Lord, in accordance with your love.
160 All your words are true;all your righteous laws are eternal.
161 Rulers persecute me without cause,but my heart trembles at your word.
