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.
169Let my cry come near before thee, O Jehovah: Give me understanding according to thy word.
170Let my supplication come before thee: Deliver me according to thy word.
171Let my lips utter praise; For 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.
