I long for thy salvation, O LORD! And thy law is my delight!
175 Regai ndirarame kuti ndigokurumbidzai, uye dai mirayiro yenyu yandibatsira.
Let me live, and I will praise thee; Let thy judgments help me!
176 Ndakatsauka segwai rakarasika. Tsvakai muranda wenyu, nokuti handina kukanganwa mirayiro yenyu.
I wander like a lost sheep; seek thy servant, For I do not forget thy commandments!
