¹⁵³ Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.

5 Remember, O Lord, what is come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.

¹⁶ I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

²⁰ Behold, O Lord, and consider to whom thou hast done this. Shall the women eat their fruit, and children of a span long? shall the priest and the prophet be slain in the sanctuary of the Lord?

3 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

¹⁷⁶ I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

¹⁵⁹ Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O Lord, according to thy lovingkindness.

¹⁴¹ I am small and despised: yet do not I forget thy precepts.

¹⁰⁹ My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.

⁹⁸ Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
