169Let my cry come before you, O LORD; give me understanding according to your word.170Let my supplication come before you; rescue me according to your word.171My lips will pour forth praise, for you teach me your statutes.172My tongue will sing your word, for all your commandments are righteousness.173Let your hand help me, for I have chosen your precepts.174I have longed for your salvation, O LORD, and your instruction is my delight.175Let my soul live, and let it praise you; and your justice will help me.176I have gone astray like a perishing sheep; seek your servant, for I have not forgotten your commandments.
