May my cry reach your presence, Yahweh, * according to your word, give me insight.

May my plea come before you; * according to your promise, rescue me.

My lips pour forth your praise, * because you have taught me your statutes.

May my tongue repeat your word, * because the sum of your commandments is justice.

May your hand be ready to help me, * since I have chosen your precepts.

I long for your salvation, Yahweh, * and your law is my delight.

Let me live to praise you, * and let your rules be my help.

Should I stray like a lost sheep, * seek your servant, * for I have not forgotten your commandments.
