167 My soul has kept to your testimonies and has loved them exceedingly.
168 I have served your commandments and your testimonies. For all my ways are before your sight.
169 TAU. O Lord, let my supplication draw near in your sight. Grant understanding to me according to your eloquence.
170 Let my petition enter before you. Rescue me according to your word.
171 A hymn will burst forth from my lips, when you will teach me your justifications.
172 My tongue will pronounce your eloquence. For all your commandments are fairness.
173 Let it be your hand that saves me. For I have chosen your commandments.
