Psalms 119:160
158 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.
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.
162 I rejoice in Your promise like one who finds great spoil.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
