RESH.
153 Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
154 * 1.1 Plead my cause, and deliver me: quick∣en me according to thy word.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes s 1.2.
156 ‖ 1.3 Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments t 1.4.
157 Many are my persecutors, and mine ene∣mies; yet do I not decline from thy testimo∣nies u 1.5.
158 I beheld the transgressors x 1.6, and was grie∣ved because they kept not thy word.
159 Consider how * 1.7 I love thy precepts y 1.8: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy loving kindness.
160 † 1.9 Thy word is true from the beginning z 1.10: and * 1.11 every one of thy righteous judgments en∣dureth for ever.
And therefore on the contrary I trust that thou wilt save me because I do seek them. My wicked enemies shall cer∣tainly be destroyed, by which means I shall be delivered.
Either from the beginning of the world: or ever since thou hast revealed thy mind by thy word to the sons of men, all thy words have been found to be true and certain, and so they will be to the end of the world, as is implied in the next clause. Or, as it is in the margent, the beginning (or, as others render it, the summ, as this very word is used, Exod. 30. 12. Numb. 26. 2. & 31. 26. to wit, the whole of it, there is not the least part of it, which is not so) of thy word is true.
