I have longed for your salvation, LORD. Your Law is my delight.
175 We amed bedo mangima mondo apaki, kendo mad chikeni okonya.
Let my soul live, that I may praise you. Let your ordinances help me.
176 Aserwenyo ka rombo molal, omiyo yie imany jatichni, nimar wiya pok owil gi chikeni.
I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek your servant, for I do not forget your commandments.
