Psalms 119:171
169 May my cry come before You, O LORD; give me understanding according to Your word.
170 May my plea come before You; rescue me according to Your promise.
My lips pour forth praise, for You teach me Your statutes.
172 My tongue sings of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteous.
173 May Your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen Your precepts.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
