They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.
Thou [art] near, O LORD; and all thy commandments [are] truth.
Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
Many [are] my persecutors and mine enemies; [yet] do I not decline from thy testimonies.
I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
