166I have hoped for thy salvation, O Lord, and thy commandments have I fulfilled.
167My soul hath observed thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly.
168I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies; because all my ways are before thee.
169TAV. Let my entreaty come near before thee, O Lord: according to thy word grant me understanding.
170Let my supplication come before thee: according to thy promise do thou deliver me.
