161  Princes have persecuted me,
        although no cause they saw:
     But still of thy most holy word
        my heart doth stand in awe.
162  I at thy word rejoice, as one
        of spoil that finds great store.
163  Thy law I love; but lying all
        I hate and do abhor.

164  Sev'n times a-day it is my care
        to give due praise to thee;
     Because of all thy judgments, Lord,
        which righteous ever be.
165  Great peace have they who love thy law;
        offense they shall have none.
166  I hoped for thy salvation, Lord,
        and thy commands have done.

167  My soul thy testimonies pure
        observèd carefully;
     On them my heart is set, and them
        I love exceedingly.
168  Thy testimonies and thy laws
        I kept with special care;
     For all my works and ways each one
        before thee open are.
