Psalms 119:162
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.
I rejoice in Your promise like one who finds great spoil.
163 I hate and abhor falsehood, but Your law I love.
164 Seven times a day I praise You for Your righteous judgments.
