Psalms 119:161

Princes have persecuted me without a cause - This commences a new division of the psalm, indicated by the Hebrew letter Schin ( ׂ ś , and ׁ sh ) - corresponding to our "s," or "sh." On the meaning of the expression here, see Psalms 119:23, note; Psalms 119:76, note.

But my heart standeth in awe of thy word - I still reverence thy word. I am not deterred from keeping thy law by any threats or intimidations. This is in accordance with the uniform statements in the psalm, that nothing deterred him from manifesting his adherence to the law of God.
