175 Let me live to praise You; may Your judgments sustain me.
Naomba niishi na nikusifu wewe, na amri zako za haki zinisaidie.
176 I have strayed like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your commandments.
Nimetanga-tanga kama kondoo aliyepotea; mtafute mtumishi wako, kwa maana sijazisahau amri zako.
