153. RESH. Consider my affliction and deliver me; for I have not forgotten thy law.
154. Plead my cause and redeem me; quicken me according to thy spoken word.
155. Saving health is far from the wicked, for they do not seek thy statutes.
156. Many are thy tender mercies, O Lord: cause me to live according to thy judgments.
157. Many are my persecutors and my enemies; yet I do not deviate from thy testimonies.
158. I beheld the transgressors and was grieved because they did not keep thy words.
