167 O let my supplicating cry
by you, my gracious LORD, be heard.
168 Give wisdom and deliver me
according to your faithful word.
169 Instructed in your holy law,
to praise your word I lift my voice.
170 Come, LORD, and be my present help,
for your commandments are my choice.
171 For your salvation I have longed,
my joy is in your law, O LORD.
172 Now, let me live, your praise to sing;
sustain me by your holy word.
173 Your servant, like a wandering sheep,
has lost the path and gone astray.
174 Restore my soul and lead me home,
for your commands I would obey.
– Psalter, 1912, alt.
