Psalm 119:153-160

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵³ Look on my affliction and deliver me,
    for I do not forget thy law.
¹⁵⁴ Plead my cause and redeem me;
    give me life according to thy promise!
¹⁵⁵ Salvation is far from the wicked,
    for they do not seek thy statutes.
¹⁵⁶ Great is thy mercy, O Lord;
    give me life according to thy justice.
¹⁵⁷ Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
    but I do not swerve from thy testimonies.
¹⁵⁸ I look at the faithless with disgust,
    because they do not keep thy commands.
¹⁵⁹ Consider how I love thy precepts!
    Preserve my life according to thy steadfast love.
¹⁶⁰ The sum of thy word is truth;
    and every one of thy righteous ordinances endures for ever.
