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.
159. See how I love your precepts, Lord;in your mercy give me life.
160. Your every word is enduring;all your righteous judgments are forever.
161. Princes persecute me without reason,but my heart reveres only your word.
162. I rejoice at your promise,as one who has found rich spoil.
163. Falsehood I hate and abhor;your law I love.
