Psalms 119:175
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.
Let me live to praise You; may Your judgments sustain me.
176 I have strayed like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your commandments.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
