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 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; for thou teachest me thy statutes.
172Let my tongue sing of thy word; for all thy commandments are righteousness.
173Let thine 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.
