158. I saw the prevaricators, and I pine away. For they have not kept your word.
159. O Lord, see how I have loved your commandments. Revive me in your mercy.
160. The beginning of your words is truth. All the judgments of your justice are for eternity.
161. SIN. The leaders have persecuted me without cause. And my heart has been awed by your words.
162. I will rejoice over your eloquence, like one who has found many spoils.
163. I have held hatred for iniquity, and I have abhorred it. Yet I have loved your law.
164. Seven times a day, I uttered praise to you about the judgments of your justice.
165. Those who love your law have great peace, and there is no scandal for them.
166. I have waited for your salvation, O Lord. And I have loved your commandments.
