¹⁶⁹ Let my cry reach you, Lord;
    help me understand according to what you’ve said.
¹⁷⁰ Let my request for grace come before you;
    deliver me according to your promise!
¹⁷¹ Let my lips overflow with praise
    because you’ve taught me your statutes.
¹⁷² Let my tongue declare your word,
    because all your commandments are righteous.
