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.
