Psalms 119:159

Love for othersGod's loveNew life and rebirthGod's word

157 Though my persecutors and foes are many, I have not turned from Your testimonies.

158 I look on the faithless with loathing because they do not keep Your word.

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.

161 Rulers persecute me without cause, but my heart fears only Your word.
