175. vivet anima mea et laudabit te et judicia tua adiuvabunt me
175. My soul shall live and shall praise thee: and thy judgments shall help me.
176. erravi sicut ovis quæ periit quære servum tuum quia mandata tua non sum oblitus
176. I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost: seek thy servant, because I have not forgotten thy commandments.
