Psalm 119:154-159

Good News Translation

¹⁵⁴ Defend my cause, and set me free;
    save me, as you have promised.
¹⁵⁵ The wicked will not be saved,
    for they do not obey your laws.
¹⁵⁶ But your compassion, Lord, is great;
    show your mercy and save me!
¹⁵⁷ I have many enemies and oppressors,
    but I do not fail to obey your laws.
¹⁵⁸ When I look at those traitors, I am filled with disgust,
    because they do not keep your commands.
¹⁵⁹ See how I love your instructions, Lord.
    Your love never changes, so save me!
