Psalm 119:151-153

151 Yet you, O Lord, are near,
and all your precepts are true.
152 Long have I known your decrees
and that you have established them forever.

153 [a]See my suffering and deliver me,
for I have not forgotten your law.
Footnotes
- Psalm 119:153 The lament becomes more intense as the psalmist prays for deliverance, mercy, and life. By protesting his innocence, bringing up his affliction, and mentioning the perfidy of the wicked, he seeks to move God to act, for he alone can preserve the psalmist’s full enjoyment of covenant life. The fidelity and righteousness of God’s word sustain the psalmist in his belief of total vindication.
