Psalm 119:150-167 New International Version (NIV)

150. Those who devise wicked schemes are near, but they are far from your law.

151. Yet you are near, Lord, and all your commands are true.

152. Long ago I learned from your statutes that you established them to last forever.

153. Look on my suffering and deliver me, for I have not forgotten your law.

154. Defend my cause and redeem me; preserve my life according to your promise.

155. Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek out your decrees.

156. Your compassion, Lord, is great; preserve my life according to your laws.

157. Many are the foes who persecute me, but I have not turned from your statutes.

158. I look on the faithless with loathing, for they do not obey your word.

159. See how I love your precepts; preserve my life, Lord, in accordance with your love.

160. All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.

161. Rulers persecute me without cause, but my heart trembles at your word.

162. I rejoice in your promise like one who finds great spoil.

163. I hate and detest falsehood but I love your law.

164. Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous laws.

165. Great peace have those who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.

166. I wait for your salvation, Lord, and I follow your commands.

167. I obey your statutes, for I love them greatly.
