Psalm 119:161-168

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶¹ Princes persecute me without cause,
    but my heart stands in awe of thy words.
¹⁶² I rejoice at thy word
    like one who finds great spoil.
¹⁶³ I hate and abhor falsehood,
    but I love thy law.
¹⁶⁴ Seven times a day I praise thee
    for thy righteous ordinances.
¹⁶⁵ Great peace have those who love thy law;
    nothing can make them stumble.
¹⁶⁶ I hope for thy salvation, O Lord,
    and I do thy commandments.
¹⁶⁷ My soul keeps thy testimonies;
    I love them exceedingly.
¹⁶⁸ I keep thy precepts and testimonies,
    for all my ways are before thee.
