Ninautamani wokovu wako, Yahwe, na sheria yako ni furaha yangu.
175 Revive me that I may praise you, and let your precepts help me.
Naomba niishi na nikusifu wewe, na amri zako za haki zinisaidie.
176 I have strayed like a wandering sheep seek your servant, because I do not forget your commandments.
Nimetanga-tanga kama kondoo aliyepotea; mtafute mtumishi wako, kwa maana sijazisahau amri zako.
