SHIN
Powerful people harass me without cause, but my heart trembles only at your word.
I rejoice in your word
like one who discovers great treasure.
I hate and abhor all falsehood,
but I love your instructions.
I will praise you seven times a day
because all your regulations are just.
Those who love your instructions have great peace
and do not stumble.
I long for your rescue, LORD,
so I have obeyed your commands.
I have obeyed your laws,
for I love them very much.
Yes, I obey your commandments and laws
because you know everything I do.
I rejoice in your word like one who discovers great treasure.
