160. The sum of Your word is truth [the total of the full meaning of all Your individual precepts]; and every one of Your righteous decrees endures forever.
161. Princes pursue and persecute me without cause, but my heart stands in awe of Your words [dreading violation of them far more than the force of prince or potentate]. [I Sam. 24:11, 14; 26:18.]
162. I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great spoil.
163. I hate and abhor falsehood, but Your law do I love.
164. Seven times a day and all day long do I praise You because of Your righteous decrees.
