167 My soul kept thy witnessings; and loved those greatly. (I obey thy teachings; and I love them so very much.)
168 I kept thy commandments, and thy witnessings; for all my ways be in thy sight. (I obey thy precepts, and thy teachings; and all my ways be before thee.)
169 Tau. Lord, my beseeching come nigh in thy sight; by thy speech give thou understanding to me. (Lord, let my plea come before thee; give thou me understanding of thy word or give thou me understanding according to thy word.)
170 Mine asking enter into thy sight; by thy speech deliver thou me. (Let my asking come before thee; save thou me according to thy word.)
171 My lips shall tell out an hymn; when thou hast taught me thy justifyings. (My lips shall tell out thy praises or My lips shall praise thee; because thou hast taught me thy statutes.)
172 My tongue shall pronounce thy speech; for why all thy commandments be equity. (My tongue shall tell out thy word; for all thy commandments be just, or fair.)
