This site's exposition

Look upon my affliction and rescue me

on Psalms 119:153-160

He asks God to look at the affliction and to defend his cause. Salvation stays far from the wicked, and the reason given is their own refusal to seek the statutes. Verse 160 states it whole: the entirety of the word is truth.
