SCHIN: Peace Despite Persecution and Rejoicing in the Word

161

Princes have persecuted me without a cause, but my heart stands in awe of your words.

162

I rejoice at your word, as one who finds great plunder.

163

I hate and abhor falsehood. I love your Torah.

164

Seven times a day, I praise you, because of your righteous ordinances.

165

Those who love your Torah have great peace. Nothing causes them to stumble.

166

I have hoped for your salvation, LORD. I have done your commandments.

167

My soul has observed your testimonies. I love them exceedingly.

168

I have obeyed your precepts and your testimonies, for all my ways are before you.
