Resh
153 Look upon my suffering and rescue me,
for I have not forgotten your instructions.
154 Argue my case; take my side!
Protect my life as you promised.

for they do not bother with your decrees.
156 Lord, how great is your mercy;
let me be revived by following your regulations.
157 Many persecute and trouble me,
yet I have not swerved from your laws.
158 Seeing these traitors makes me sick at heart,
because they care nothing for your word.
159 See how I love your commandments, Lord.
Give back my life because of your unfailing love.
160 The very essence of your words is truth;
all your just regulations will stand forever.

but my heart trembles only at your word.

because all your regulations are just.

and do not stumble.

so I have obeyed your commands.

because you know everything I do.

169 O Lord, listen to my cry;
give me the discerning mind you promised.

rescue me as you promised.

for you have taught me your decrees.
172 Let my tongue sing about your word,
for all your commands are right.
