150 [a]Those who plot wickedness draw near me,
    but they are far from your law.
151 Yet you, O Lord, are near,
    and all your precepts are true.
152 Long have I known your decrees
    and that you have established them forever.

  1. Psalm 119:150 Although the wicked are closing in on the psalmist, he remains serene, for the Lord is also near to protect him (see Pss 69:19; 73:28). The wicked will get nowhere, for they break the statutes of the Lord (v. 150: are far from your law), which were meant to last forever.
