156 lord, how great is your mercy;let me be revived by following your regulations.
157 Many persecute and trouble me,yet I have not swerved from your laws.
158 Seeing these traitors makes me sick at heart,because they care nothing for your word.
159 See how I love your commandments, lord.Give back my life because of your unfailing love.
160 The very essence of your words is truth;all your just regulations will stand forever.
161 Powerful people harass me without cause,but my heart trembles only at your word.
162 I rejoice in your wordlike one who discovers a great treasure.
