Rulers persecute me without cause, but my heart trembles at your
word.
162
I rejoice in your promise like one who finds great spoil.

I hate and abhor falsehood but I love your law.
164
Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws.
165
Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them
stumble.
166
I wait for your salvation, O LORD, and I follow your commands.
167
I obey your statutes, for I love them greatly.
168
I obey your precepts and your statutes, for all my ways are known to
you.

May my cry come before you, O LORD; give me understanding according
to your word.

May my supplication come before you; deliver me according to your
promise.

May my lips overflow with praise, for you teach me your decrees.
172
May my tongue sing of your word, for all your commands are
righteous.
173
May your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen your precepts.
174
I long for your salvation, O LORD, and your law is my delight.

Let me live that I may praise you, and may your laws sustain me.

I have strayed like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I have not
forgotten your commands.
