151. But you are near to me, Lord,and all your commands are permanent.
152. Long ago I learnt about your instructions;you made them to last for ever.
153. Look at my suffering, and save me,because I have not neglected your law.
154. Defend my cause, and set me free;save me, as you have promised.
155. The wicked will not be saved,for they do not obey your laws.
156. But your compassion, Lord, is great;show your mercy and save me!
157. I have many enemies and oppressors,but I do not fail to obey your laws.
