39. Cut off my disgrace, which I have taken up, for your judgments are delightful.
40. Behold, I have longed for your commandments. Revive me in your fairness.
41. VAU. And let your mercy overwhelm me, O Lord: your salvation according to your eloquence.
42. And I will respond to those who reproach me by word, for I have hoped in your words.
43. And do not utterly take away the word of truth from my mouth. For in your judgments, I have hoped beyond hope.
44. And I will always keep your law, in this age and forever and ever.
45. And I have wandered far and wide, because I was seeking your commandments.
46. And I spoke of your testimonies in the sight of kings, and I was not confounded.
47. And I meditated on your commandments, which I loved.
