155. Salvation is far from the wicked,for they do not seek out your decrees.
156. Your compassion, Lord, is great;preserve my life according to your laws.
157. Many are the foes who persecute me,but I have not turned from your statutes.
158. I look on the faithless with loathing,for they do not obey your word.
159. See how I love your precepts;preserve my life, Lord, in accordance with your love.
160. All your words are true;all your righteous laws are eternal.
161. Rulers persecute me without cause,but my heart trembles at your word.
162. I rejoice in your promiselike one who finds great spoil.
