166I have hoped for Thy salvation, O LORD, and have done Thy commandments.
167My soul hath observed Thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
168I have observed Thy precepts and Thy testimonies; for all my ways are before Thee.
169TAV. Let my cry come near before Thee, O LORD; give me understanding according to Thy word.
170Let my supplication come before Thee; deliver me according to Thy word.
171Let my lips utter praise: because Thou teachest me Thy statutes.
172Let my tongue sing of Thy word; for all Thy commandments are righteousness.
173Let Thy hand be ready to help me; for I have chosen Thy precepts.
174I have longed for Thy salvation, O LORD; and Thy law is my delight.
175Let my soul live, and it shall praise Thee; and let Thine ordinances help me.
