Let my cry come before You, O Lord; Give me understanding according to Your word.
170
Let my supplication come before You; Deliver me according to Your word.
171
My lips shall utter praise, For You teach me Your statutes.
172
My tongue shall speak of Your word, For all Your commandments are righteousness.
173
Let Your hand become my help, For I have chosen Your precepts.
174
I long for Your salvation, O Lord, And Your law is my delight.
175
Let my soul live, and it shall praise You; And let Your judgments help me.
176
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; Seek Your servant, For I do not forget Your commandments.
