Psalm 119:153-160

Psalm 119:153-160, NKJV
Resh Look on my affliction and deliver me, for I do not forget your law. Plead my cause and redeem me; give me life according to your promise! Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek your statutes.

Great is your mercy, O LORD; give me life according to your rules. Many are my persecutors and my adversaries, but I do not swerve from your testimonies.

I look at the faithless with disgust, because they do not keep your commands.

Consider how I love your precepts! Give me life according to your steadfast love. The sum of your word is truth, and every one of your righteous rules endures forever.

Psalm 119:153-160, JN paraphrase
LORD, I need your help in dealing with my affliction. Please plead my cause as You have promised for I have not forgotten your law. See, I am not as the wicked, deliberately ignoring Your statutes.

Your great mercy promises me life if I am obedient to Your rules, sounds good, but I need Your great cry on the cross, “It is finished.” “It is finished.” The most joy-filled words in all of creation.

The faithless are disgusting for they ignore Your commands. Those precious words that prove the completeness of your sacrifice and their permanence.
