New International Version

Psalm 119:151-158 New International Version (NIV)

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.
