ר Resh
153 Look on my suffering and deliver me, for I have not forgotten your law.
154 Defend my cause and redeem me; preserve my life according to your promise.
155 Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek out your decrees.
156 Your compassion, Lord, is great; preserve my life according to your laws.
157 Many are the foes who persecute me, but I have not turned from your statutes.
158 I look on the faithless with loathing, for they do not obey your word.
159 See how I love your precepts; preserve my life, Lord, in accordance with your love.
160 All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.

My Scripture memory goal for 2018 was to memorize all 176 verses of Psalm 119. It breaks down into 22 stanzas of 8 verses each, so I wrote about 2 songs every month. It sure helped to make these verses stick in my mind and heart!

These are all in the NIV (2011) translation.
