166. I have hoped for thy salvation, O LORD, and have done thy commandments.
167. My soul hath observed thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.
168. I have observed thy precepts and thy testimonies; for all my ways are before thee.
169. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word.
170. Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word.
