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.
The very essence of your words is truth; all your just regulations will stand forever.
