157 Many there are that trouble me, and persecute me: yet do I not
swerve from thy testimonies.
158 It grieveth me when I see the transgressors: because they keep
not thy law.
159 Consider, O Lord, how I love thy commandments: O quicken me,
according to thy loving-kindness.
160 Thy word is true from everlasting: all the judgements of thy
righteousness endure for evermore.
_Principes persecuti sunt_.
Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth
in awe of thy word.
