Psalm 119:169-176 Part 5

                    TAW 

O LORD, listen to my cry;

    give me the discerning mind you promised.

Listen to my prayer;

    rescue me as you promised.

Let praise flow from my lips,

    for you have taught me your decrees.

Let my tongue sing about your word,

    for all your commands are right.

Give me a helping hand,

    for I have chosen to follow your commandments.

O LORD, I have longed for your rescue,

    and your instructions are my delight.

Let me live so I can praise you,

    and may your regulations help me.

I have wandered away like a lost sheep;

    come and find me,

    for I have not forgotten your commands. 

 

Let me live so I can praise you, and may your regulations help me.
