161 Princes have persecuted me without a cause, ♦︎
but my heart stands in awe of your word.
162 I am as glad of your word ♦︎
as one who finds great spoils.
163 As for lies, I hate and abhor them, ♦︎
but your law do I love.
164 Seven times a day do I praise you, ♦︎
because of your righteous judgements.
165 Great peace have they who love your law; ♦︎
nothing shall make them stumble.
166 Lord, I have looked for your salvation ♦︎
and I have fulfilled your commandments.
167 My soul has kept your testimonies ♦︎
and greatly have I loved them.
168 I have kept your commandments and testimonies, ♦︎
for all my ways are before you.
169 Let my cry come before you, O Lord; ♦︎
give me understanding, according to your word.
170 Let my supplication come before you; ♦︎
deliver me, according to your promise.
171 My lips shall pour forth your praise, ♦︎
when you have taught me your statutes.
172 My tongue shall sing of your word, ♦︎
for all your commandments are righteous.
173 Let your hand reach out to help me, ♦︎
for I have chosen your commandments.
174 I have longed for your salvation, O Lord, ♦︎
and your law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live and it shall praise you, ♦︎
and let your judgements be my help.
176 I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost; ♦︎
O seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.
