149Hear my voice, O LORD, according to Your loving devotion; give me life according to Your justice. 150Those who follow after wickedness draw near; they are far from Your law. 151You are near, O LORD, and all Your commandments are true. 152Long ago I learned from Your testimonies that You have established them forever. רRESH 153Look upon my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten Your law. 154Defend my cause and redeem me; revive me according to Your word. 155Salvation is far from the wicked because they do not seek Your statutes. 156Great are Your mercies, O LORD; revive me according to Your ordinances. 157Though my persecutors and foes are many, I have not turned from Your testimonies. 158I look on the faithless with loathing because they do not keep Your word.
