Psalms 119:151
149 Hear my voice, O LORD, according to Your loving devotion; give me life according to Your justice.
150 Those who follow after wickedness draw near; they are far from Your law.
You are near, O LORD, and all Your commandments are true.
152 Long ago I learned from Your testimonies that You have established them forever.
153 Look upon my affliction and rescue me, for I have not forgotten Your law.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
