71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, That I may learn your statutes.
81 My soul faints for Your salvation, But I hope in your word.
82 My eyes fail from seeking Your word, Saying, "When will you comfort me?".

103 How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way.

169 Let my cry come before You, O Lord; Give me understanding according to Your word.
170 Let my supplication come before you; Deliver me according to Your word.
