171. My lips shall pour forth praise [with thanksgiving and renewed trust] when You teach me Your statutes.
172. My tongue shall sing [praise for the fulfillment] of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteous.
173. Let Your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen Your precepts.
174. I have longed for Your salvation, O Lord, and Your law is my delight.
175. Let me live that I may praise You, and let Your decrees help me.
176. I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek, inquire for, and demand Your servant, for I do not forget Your commandments. [Isa. 53:6; Luke 15:4; I Pet. 2:25.]
