Try this - it should look like this after you put
Emacs into emacs-lisp-mode:

(font-lock-add-keywords 'emacs-lisp-mode
  '(
    ("font-lock-builtin-face"              .  font-lock-builtin-face)
    ("font-lock-comment-delimiter-face"    .  font-lock-comment-delimiter-face)
    ("font-lock-comment-face"              .  font-lock-comment-face)
    ("font-lock-constant-face"             .  font-lock-constant-face)
    ("font-lock-doc-face"                  .  font-lock-doc-face)
    ("font-lock-function-name-face"        .  font-lock-function-name-face)

    ("font-lock-string-face"               .  font-lock-string-face)

    ("font-lock-warning-face"              .  font-lock-warning-face)
    ("font-lock-regexp-grouping-construct" .
