Psalms 119:167-176

¹⁶⁷My soul has kept your unchanging word; great is my love for it.

¹⁶⁸I have been ruled by your orders; for all my ways are before you.

¹⁶⁹TAU Let my cry come before you, O Lord; give me wisdom in keeping with your word.

¹⁷⁰Let my prayer come before you; take me out of trouble, as you have said.

¹⁷¹Let my lips be flowing with praise, because you have given me knowledge of your rules.

¹⁷²Let my tongue make songs in praise of your word; for all your teachings are righteousness.

¹⁷³Let your hand be near for my help; for I have given my heart to your orders.

¹⁷⁴All my desire has been for your salvation, O Lord; and your law is my delight.

¹⁷⁵Give life to my soul so that it may give you praise; and let your decisions be my support.

¹⁷⁶I have gone out of the way like a wandering sheep; make search for your servant; for I keep your teachings ever in mind.
