Psalm 119:153-160

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵³ Look at my suffering and rescue me.
    I have not forgotten your teachings.
¹⁵⁴ Argue my case, and set me free.
    Let me live, as you promised.
¹⁵⁵ The wicked have no hope of being saved,
    because they don’t follow your laws.
¹⁵⁶ Lord, you are very kind.
    You always do what is right, so let me live.
¹⁵⁷ I have many enemies trying to hurt me,
    but I have not stopped following your rules.
¹⁵⁸ I look at those traitors and hate what I see,
    because they refuse to do what you say.
¹⁵⁹ See how much I love your instructions!
    Lord, I know your love is true, so let me live.
¹⁶⁰ Every word you say can be trusted.
    Your laws are fair and will last forever.
