    that you have ^(C)founded them forever.

¹⁵³ Look on my ^(D)affliction and deliver me,
    for ^(E)I do not forget your law.
^154 (F)Plead my cause and redeem me;
    ^(G)give me life according to your promise!
^155 (H)Salvation is far from the wicked,

    ^(Q)Give me life according to your steadfast love.
^160 (R)The sum of your word is ^(S)truth,
    and every one of your ^(T)righteous rules endures forever.

^161 (U)Princes persecute me ^(V)without cause,
    but my heart ^(W)stands in awe of your words.
¹⁶² I ^(X)rejoice at your word
    like one who ^(Y)finds great spoil.
¹⁶³ I hate and abhor falsehood,
    but I love ^(Z)your law.
¹⁶⁴ Seven times a day I praise you
    for your ^(AA)righteous rules.
¹⁶⁵ Great ^(AB)peace have those who love your law;
    ^(AC)nothing can make them stumble.
