151 But (A)you are near, O Lord,
    and all your commandments are (B)true.
152 Long have I known from your testimonies
    that you have (C)founded them forever.

Resh

153 Look on my (D)affliction and deliver me,
    for (E)I do not forget your law.
154 (F)Plead my cause and redeem me;
    (G)give me life according to your promise!
155 (H)Salvation is far from the wicked,
    (I)for they do not seek your statutes.
156 (J)Great is your mercy, O Lord;
    (K)give me life according to your rules.
157 (L)Many are my persecutors and my adversaries,
    but I do not (M)swerve from your testimonies.
158 I look at (N)the faithless with (O)disgust,
    because they do not keep your commands.
159 Consider how I (P)love your precepts!
    (Q)Give me life according to your steadfast love.
160 (R)The sum of your word is (S)truth,
    and every one of your (T)righteous rules endures forever.

Sin and Shin

161 (U)Princes persecute me (V)without cause,
    but my heart (W)stands in awe of your words.
162 I (X)rejoice at your word
    like one who (Y)finds great spoil.
163 I hate and abhor falsehood,
    but I love (Z)your law.
164 Seven times a day I praise you
    for your (AA)righteous rules.
165 Great (AB)peace have those who love your law;
    (AC)nothing can make them stumble.
