38. Establish your word unto your servant, who is devoted to your fear.
39. Turn away my reproach which I fear: for your judgments are good.
40. Behold, I have longed after your precepts: revive me in your righteousness.
41. Let your mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even your salvation, according to your word.
42. So shall I have an answer for him that reproaches me: for I trust in your word.
43. And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in your judgments.
44. So shall I keep your law continually forever and ever.
45. And I will walk at liberty: for I seek your precepts.
46. I will speak of your testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.
47. And I will delight myself in your commandments, which I have loved.
48. My hands also will I lift up unto your commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in your statutes.
49. Remember the word unto your servant, upon which you have caused me to hope.
50. This is my comfort in my affliction: for your word has revived me.
51. The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not turned from your law.
52. I remembered your judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.
