Psalm
119:161-168 Friday Midday 4
Corrupt men harassed me
without cause; * and my heart really feared my pursuers.
But I rejoiced at your word,
* because your speech was my mighty boon.
I detest and hate falsehood,
* but I love your law.
Seven times a day I praise
you * for your just decrees.
Great prosperity for those
who love your law; * for them no stumbling-block.
I hope for your salvation, Yahweh,
* and your commandments I perform.
My soul keeps your terms, *
and I love them deeply.
I keep your precepts and
terms, * because all my ways are before you.
