Chim.

161 Príncipes me perseguiram sem causa, mas o meu coração temeu a tua palavra. 162 Folgo com a tua palavra, como aquele que acha um grande despojo. 163 Abomino e aborreço a falsidade, mas amo a tua lei. 164 Sete vezes no dia te louvo pelos juízos da tua justiça. 165 Muita paz têm os que amam a tua lei, e para eles não tropeço. 166 Senhor, tenho esperado na tua salvação e tenho cumprido os teus mandamentos. 167 A minha alma tem observado os teus testemunhos; amo-os extremamente. 168 Tenho observado os teus preceitos e os teus testemunhos, porque todos os meus caminhos estão diante de ti.
