174 Concupivi salutare tuum Domine: et lex tua meditatio mea est.
I have longed for thy salvation, O Yahweh, and, thy law, is my dear delight.
175 Vivet anima mea, et laudabit te: et iudicia tua adiuvabunt me.
Let my soul live, that it may praise thee, So shall thy regulation help me.
176 Erravi, sicut ovis, quae periit: quaere servum tuum, quia mandata tua non sum oblitus.
I have strayed like a wandering sheep, O seek thy servant, For, thy commandments, have I not forgotten.
