21. Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, That do wander from thy commandments.
22. Take away from me reproach and contempt; For I have kept thy testimonies.
23. Princes also sat and talked against me; But thy servant did meditate on thy statutes.
24. Thy testimonies also are my delight And my counsellors.
25. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: Quicken thou me according to thy word.
26. I declared my ways, and thou answeredst me: Teach me thy statutes.
27. Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: So shall I meditate on thy wondrous works.
28. My soul melteth for heaviness: Strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
29. Remove from me the way of falsehood; And grant me thy law graciously.
30. I have chosen the way of faithfulness: Thine ordinances have I set before me.
