169May my cry come before You, O LORD; give me understanding according to Your word. 170May my plea come before You; rescue me according to Your promise. 171My lips pour forth praise, for You teach me Your statutes. 172My tongue sings of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteous. 173May Your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen Your precepts. 174I long for Your salvation, O LORD, and Your law is my delight. 175Let me live to praise You; may Your judgments sustain me. 176I have strayed like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your commandments.
