166 Mwen espere gen Sali Ou, O SENYÈ. Mwen te fè kòmandman Ou yo.
I hope for your salvation; O Lord I do your commandments.
167 Nanm mwen kenbe temwayaj Ou yo. Mwen renmen yo anpil anpil.
I observe your charges: I love them greatly.
168 Mwen kenbe òdonans Ou yo avèk temwayaj Ou yo, Paske se tout chemen mwen yo ki devan Ou. TAV
I observe your precepts and charges: all my ways are before you.
169 Kite kri mwen vini devan Ou, O SENYÈ. Ban mwen konesans selon pawòl Ou.
Let my cry come before you, O Lord: give me insight, as you have promised.
170 Kite siplikasyon mwen yo parèt devan Ou. Delivre mwen selon pawòl Ou.
Let my prayer enter into your presence: deliver me, as you have said.
171 Kite lèv mwen eksprime lwanj, paske Ou enstwi mwen nan règleman Ou yo.
My lips shall be fountains of praise, that you teach me your statutes.
172 Kite lang mwen chante de pawòl Ou, paske tout kòmandman Ou yo dwat.
My tongue shall sing of your word, for all your commandments are right.
173 Kite men Ou parèt pou fè m sekou, paske mwen te chwazi òdonans Ou yo.
Let your hand be ready to help me, for your precepts have been my choice.
174 Mwen anvi wè delivrans Ou, O SENYÈ. Lalwa Ou se gran plezi mwen.
I long, Lord, for your salvation, and your law is my delight.
175 Kite nanm mwen viv pou l kapab louwe Ou. Kite òdonans Ou yo ban m sekou.
Revive me that I may praise you, and let your precepts help me.
176 Mwen te vin egare tankou yon mouton pèdi. Chache jwenn sèvitè Ou a, paske mwen pa bliye kòmandman Ou yo.
I have strayed like a wandering sheep seek your servant, because I do not forget your commandments.
