169
let my cry come before Thee, O Lord; give me understanding according to Thy word.
170
let my supplication come before Thee; deliver me according to Thy word.
171
let my lips utter praise, for Thou dost teach me Thy statutes.
172
let my tongue sing of Thy word, for all Thy commandments are righteousness.
173
let Thy hand be ready to help me, for i have chosen Thy precepts.
174
i long for Thy salvation, O Lord, and Thy law is my delight.
175
let my soul live that it may praise Thee, and let Thine ordinances help me.
176
i have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Thy servant, for i do not forget Thy commandments.
