153 O consider my affliction and deliver me, ♦︎
for I do not forget your law.
154 Plead my cause and redeem me; ♦︎
according to your promise, give me life.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked, ♦︎
for they do not seek your statutes.
156 Great is your compassion, O Lord; ♦︎
give me life, according to your judgements.
157 Many there are that persecute and oppress me, ♦︎
yet do I not swerve from your testimonies.
158 It grieves me when I see the treacherous, ♦︎
for they do not keep your word.
159 Consider, O Lord, how I love your commandments; ♦︎
give me life according to your loving-kindness.
160 The sum of your word is truth, ♦︎
and all your righteous judgements endure for evermore.
