The Message (MSG)
169-176 Let my cry come right into your presence,God;
provide me with the insight that comes only from your Word.
Give my request your personal attention,
rescue me on the terms of your promise.
Let praise cascade off my lips;
after all, you’ve taught me the truth about life!
And let your promises ring from my tongue;
every order you’ve given is right.
Put your hand out and steady me
since I’ve chosen to live by your counsel.
I’m homesick, God, for your salvation;
I love it when you show yourself!
Invigorate my soul so I can praise you well,
use your decrees to put iron in my soul.
And should I wander off like a lost sheep—seek me!
I’ll recognize the sound of your voice.
provide me with the insight that comes only from your Word.
Give my request your personal attention,
rescue me on the terms of your promise.

after all, you’ve taught me the truth about life!
And let your promises ring from my tongue;
every order you’ve given is right.
