LORD, let my cry before you come;
give understanding through your word.
And let my plea before you come;
as you have spoken, save me, LORD.
Praises will pour forth from my lips;
you teach me all your statutes, LORD.
Since your commandments all are right,
joyful, my tongue will sing your word.
LORD, let your hand be near to help;
for your commandments are my choice.
I long for your salvation, LORD,
and in your precepts I rejoice.
Let my soul live and boast in you;
let your commandments help me, LORD.
Seek me, your sheep who’s gone astray,
for I, your servant, know your word.
