Psalms 119:167-176

¹⁶⁷My soul hath observed thy testimonies, and I love them exceedingly.

¹⁶⁸I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies; because all my ways are before thee.

¹⁶⁹TAV. Let my entreaty come near before thee, O Lord: according to thy word grant me understanding.

¹⁷⁰Let my supplication come before thee: according to thy promise do thou deliver me.

¹⁷¹My lips shall utter praise; because thou wilt teach me thy statutes.

¹⁷²My tongue shall speak loudly of thy promise; for all thy commandments are righteous.

¹⁷³Let thy hand be ready to help me; for thy precepts have I chosen.

¹⁷⁴I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my delights.

¹⁷⁵Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee: and let thy decrees help me.

¹⁷⁶I have gone erringly astray like a lost sheep: seek thy servant; for thy commandments have I not forgotten.
