119:23 For even princes sit and talk against me, but I will continue in your plans.
119:24 Your laws are both my light and my counselors.
119:25 I am completely discouraged—I lie in the dust. Revive me by your Word.

119:84 How long must I wait before you punish those who persecute me?

119:152 I have known from earliest days that your will never changes.
119:153 Look down upon my sorrows and rescue me, for I am obeying your commands.
119:154 Yes, rescue me and give me back my life again just as you have promised.
119:155 The wicked are far from salvation, for they do not care for your laws.
119:156 Lord, how great is your mercy; oh, give me back my life again.
119:157 My enemies are so many. They try to make me disobey, but I have not swerved from your will.
119:158 I loathed these traitors because they care nothing for your laws.
119:159 Lord, see how much I really love your demands. Now give me back my life and health because you are so kind.

119:167 I have looked for your commandments, and I love them very much;
119:168 yes, I have searched for them. You know this because everything I do is known to you.
119:169 O Lord, listen to my prayers; give me the common sense you promised.
119:170 Hear my prayers; rescue me as you said you would.
119:171 I praise you for letting me learn your laws.

119:173 Stand ready to help me because I have chosen to follow your will.
119:174 O Lord, I have longed for your salvation, and your law is my delight.
119:175 If you will let me live, I will praise you; let your laws assist me.
