My lips shall utter a hymn, when thou shalt teach me thy justifications.
172 Mad lewa wer kuom wachni, nimar chikegi duto nikare.
My tongue shall pronounce thy word: because all thy commandments are justice.
173 Mad lweti ikre mar konya, nimar aseyiero bucheni.
Let thy hand be with me to save me; for I have chosen thy precepts.
174 Asedwaro resruok mari matek, yaye Jehova Nyasaye; kendo chikni e morna.
I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my (meditation)
175 We amed bedo mangima mondo apaki, kendo mad chikeni okonya.
My soul shall live and shall praise thee: and thy judgments shall help me.
176 Aserwenyo ka rombo molal, omiyo yie imany jatichni, nimar wiya pok owil gi chikeni.
I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost: seek thy servant, because I have not forgotten thy commandments.
