Psalms 119:153-160
(153) RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.
(154) Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.
(155) Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.
(156) Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.
(157) Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.
(158) I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.
(159) Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.
(160) Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
119:153–160. In this section the psalmist seems to draw still nearer to God in prayer, and to state his case and to invoke the divine help with more boldness and expectation. It is a pleading passage, and the key-word of it is Consider. With much boldness he pleads his intimate union with the Lord’s cause as a reason why he should be aided. The special aid that he seeks is personal quickening, for which he cries to the Lord again and again.
