175 Nek' živi duša moja i neka te hvali, a tvoji sudovi nek' mi na pomoć budu!
My soul shall live, and shall praise you; and your judgments shall help me.
176 K'o ovca izgubljena ja zalutah: o, potraži slugu svojega jer zapovijedi tvoje ja ne zaboravih.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant; for I have not forgotten your commandments.
