Psalm 119:153-160 Part 2

                    RESH 

Look upon my suffering and rescue me,

    for I have not forgotten your instructions.

Argue my case; take my side!

    Protect my life as you promised.

The wicked are far from rescue,

    for they do not bother with your decrees.

LORD, how great is your mercy;

    let me be revived by following your regulations.

Many persecute and trouble me,

    yet I have not swerved from your laws.

Seeing these traitors makes me sick at heart,

    because they care nothing for your word.

See how I love your commandments, LORD.

    Give back my life because of your unfailing love.

The very essence of your words is truth;

    all your just regulations will stand forever. 

 

Argue my case; take my side! Protect my life as you promised.

    and I will see his righteousness.  (see all Micah 7)

    there will be no rest!"  (see all Jeremiah 50)
