Psalms 119:176

I have gone astray like a lost sheep I have too often swerved from the path of thy precepts, through my own infirmity, or the power of temptation. Seek thy servant As the shepherd doth his wandering sheep, and bring me back into thy fold. Or, as some interpret the psalmist's meaning, I have wandered like a sheep which is lost, driven from place to place during these tedious persecutions; but be thou pleased, like a careful shepherd, to look after me, and to put me in the right way of escaping all the dangers to which I am exposed, and of recovering my liberty, rest, and peace.
