Psalm 119:175-176
New Catholic Bible
175 Give life to my soul that I may praise you,
and let your judgments sustain me.
176 I have wandered away like a lost sheep;[a]
seek out your servant,
for I have not forgotten your precepts.
Footnotes
- Psalm 119:176 Lost sheep: the Prophets’ theme of lost sheep is here applied to an individual (see Isa 53:6; Jer 50:6; Ezek 34:16; Zec 11:16; Mt 10:6; Lk 15:4; 1 Pet 2:25). For I have not forgotten your precepts: this final line sums up the inner state of the psalmist, who is zealous for the knowledge and practice of the divine law.
