37. Keep me from paying attention to what is worthless;be good to me, as you have promised.
38. Keep your promise to me, your servant —the promise you make to those who obey you.
39. Save me from the insults I fear;how wonderful are your judgements!
40. I want to obey your commands;give me new life, for you are righteous.
41. Show me how much you love me, Lord,and save me according to your promise.
42. Then I can answer those who insult mebecause I trust in your word.
