Verse 157 is found in chapter 119 of Psalms. Psalm 119 is an extensive acrostic poem devoted to God’s word and instruction. Its different stanzas explore obedience, suffering, persecution, hope, wisdom, and the desire to know the commandments. The repetition of terms related to law, testimonies, statutes, and precepts does not represent mere monotony, but multiple dimensions of divine revelation. The psalm shows that God’s word guides both daily life and the believer’s response to affliction.

Meiner Verfolger und Widersacher sind viele; ich weiche aber nicht von deinen Zeugnissen.
Muchos son mis perseguidores y mis enemigos; Mas de tus testimonios no me he apartado.
Muchos son mis perseguidores y mis adversarios, pero no me he apartado de tus testimonios.
Mes persécuteurs et mes adversaires sont nombreux; Je ne m'écarte point de tes préceptes,
I miei persecutori ed i miei nemici son molti; Ma io non mi sono deviato dalle tue testimonianze
Muitos são os meus perseguidores e os meus inimigos; mas não me desvio dos teus testemunhos.
迫害我的、抵擋我的甚多, 我卻沒有偏離你的法度。
