Psalms 119:157-160 CEV
(157) I have a lot of brutal enemies, but still I never turn from your laws. (158) All of those unfaithful people who refuse to obey you are disgusting to me. (159) Remember how I love your laws, and show your love for me by keeping me safe. (160) All you say can be trusted; your teachings are true and will last forever.

You will note some of the translations quoted use "LORD" to represent God's name (  יהוה  ) while others use the attempted English translations of "Jehovah" or "Yahweh" to replace the name of God. You should know God's name is   יהוה   as He gave it to mankind in the original Old Testament Hebrew language. Please visit "JustBibleTruth.com/DoesGodHaveAName.html for an explanation.

O Jehovah, according to your loving-kindness preserve me alive. 160 The substance of your word is truth, And every righteous judicial decision of yours is to time indefinite.

Psalms 119:157-160 ASV
(157) Many are my persecutors and mine adversaries; Yet have I not swerved from thy testimonies. (158) I beheld the treacherous, and was grieved, Because they observe not thy word.
