119:161 Rulers pursue me for no reason,
yet I am more afraid of disobeying your instructions. 1
119:162 I rejoice in your instructions,
like one who finds much plunder. 2

I love your law.
119:164 Seven 3 times a day I praise you
because of your just regulations.
119:165 Those who love your law are completely secure; 4
nothing causes them to stumble. 5

and I obey 6 your commands.
119:167 I keep your rules;
I love them greatly.
119:168 I keep your precepts and rules,
for you are aware of everything I do. 7
