SCHIN: Peace Despite Persecution and Rejoicing in the Word

Psalms 119:161-168

161

(Shin) Princes persecute me for no reason, but my heart stands in awe of your words.

162

I take joy in your promise, like someone who finds much booty.

163

I hate falsehood, I detest it; but I love your Torah.

164

I praise you seven times a day because of your righteous rulings.

165

Those who love your Torah have great peace; nothing makes them stumble.

166

I hope for your deliverance, ADONAI; I obey your mitzvot.

167

My soul observes your instruction, and I love it so much!

168

I observe your precepts and instruction, for all my ways lie open before you.
