166. LORD, I have hoped for your salvation, and done your commandments.
167. My soul has kept your testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
168. I have kept your precepts and your testimonies: for all my ways are before you.
169. Let my cry come near 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, when you have taught me your statutes.
172. My tongue shall speak of your word: for all your commandments are righteousness.
173. Let your hand help me; for I have chosen your precepts.
174. I have longed 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.
