156. O Lord, both great and manifoldthy tender mercies be:According to thy judgments just,revive and quicken me.
157. My persecutors many are,and foes that do combine;Yet from thy testimonies puremy heart doth not decline.
158. I saw transgressors, and was griev'd;for they keep not thy word.
159. See how I love thy law! as thouart kind, me quicken, Lord.
160. From the beginning all thy wordhath been most true and sure:Thy righteous judgments ev'ry onefor evermore endure.
161. Princes have persecuted me,although no cause they saw:But still of thy most holy wordmy heart doth stand in awe.
162. I at thy word rejoice, as oneof spoil that finds great store.
163. Thy law I love; but lying allI hate and do abhor.
164. Sev'n times a-day it is my careto give due praise to thee;Because of all thy judgments, Lord,which righteous ever be.
