¹⁵³ See my affliction and deliver me,
    because I have not forgotten your law.
¹⁵⁴ Argue my case and redeem me.
    Give me life according to your saying.

    because they do not pursue your statutes.

    like one who finds much plunder.

    but I love your law.

    and nothing is a stumbling block for them.
¹⁶⁶ I wait for your salvation, O Lord,
    and I obey your commandments.
¹⁶⁷ My soul keeps your testimonies.
    I love them greatly.
¹⁶⁸ I keep your precepts and your testimonies,
    because all my ways are before you.

¹⁶⁹ May my loud cry come before you, Lord.
    Give me understanding through your word.
¹⁷⁰ May my plea for mercy come before you.
    Deliver me according to your saying.
¹⁷¹ May my lips overflow with praise,
    because you teach me your statutes.
¹⁷² May my tongue sing of your saying,
    because all your commandments are righteousness.
