Look at my suffering, and save me, because I have not neglected your law.
Defend my cause, and set me free; save, as you have promised.
The wicked will not be saved, for they do not obey your laws.
But your compassion, Lord, is great; show your mercy and save me !
I have many enemies and oppressors, but I do not fail to obey your laws.
When I look at those traitors, I am filled with disgust, because they do not keep your commands.
See how I love your instructions, Lord.
Your love never changes, so save me !
The heart of your law is truth, and all your righteous judgments are eternal.
