19. I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments from me!
20. My soul is consumed with longingfor your rules at all times.
21. You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones,who wander from your commandments.
22. Take away from me scorn and contempt, for I have kept your testimonies.
23. Even though princes sit plotting against me,your servant will meditate on your statutes.
24. Your testimonies are my delight;they are my counselors.
25. My soul clings to the dust; give me life according to your word!
