Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶⁹ Let my cry come before thee, O Lord;
    give me understanding according to thy word!
¹⁷⁰ Let my supplication come before thee;
    deliver me according to thy word.
¹⁷¹ My lips will pour forth praise
    that thou dost teach me thy statutes.
¹⁷² My tongue will sing of thy word,
    for all thy commandments are right.
¹⁷³ Let thy hand be ready to help me,
    for I have chosen thy precepts.
¹⁷⁴ I long for thy salvation, O Lord,
    and thy law is my delight.
¹⁷⁵ Let me live, that I may praise thee,
    and let thy ordinances help me.
¹⁷⁶ I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant,
    for I do not forget thy commandments.
