Psalms 119:158
156 Great are Your mercies, O LORD; revive me according to Your ordinances.
157 Though my persecutors and foes are many, I have not turned from Your testimonies.
I look on the faithless with loathing because they do not keep Your word.
159 Consider how I love Your precepts, O LORD; give me life according to Your loving devotion.
160 The entirety of Your word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever.
