Psalms 119:172
170 May my plea come before You; rescue me according to Your promise.
171 My lips pour forth praise, for You teach me Your statutes.
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.
174 I long for Your salvation, O LORD, and Your law is my delight.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
