ת (Tav)

169 Let my cry for help approach you, Yahweh.

Speak to me to give me understanding.

170 May my request reach your ears.

Rescue me as you promised you would.

171 May my lips pour out praise,

because you teach me your regulations.

172 Let my tongue sing about your promise,

because all your commands are right and fair.

173 Let your hand be ready to help me,

because I’ve chosen to follow your principles.

174 I long for when you’ll rescue me, Yahweh,

and I enjoy your instructions.
