154. Take up my cause and redeem me;for the sake of your promise give me life.
155. Salvation is far from sinnersbecause they do not cherish your statutes.
156. Your compassion is great, O Lord;in accord with your judgments, give me life.
157. Though my persecutors and foes are many,I do not turn from your testimonies.
158. I view the faithless with loathingbecause they do not heed your promise.
