169 Listen to my cry for help, O LORD!

Give me insight by your word!

170 Listen to my appeal for mercy!

Deliver me, as you promised.

171 May praise flow freely from my lips,

for you teach me your statutes.

172 May my tongue sing about your instructions,

for all your commands are just.

173 May your hand help me,

for I choose to obey your precepts.

174 I long for your deliverance, O LORD;

I find delight in your law.

175 May I live and praise you!

May your regulations help me!

176 I have wandered off like a lost sheep.

Come looking for your servant,

for I do not forget your commands.
