21. You reprimand the proud;cursed are those who disobey your commands.
22. Free me from their insults and scorn,because I have kept your laws.
23. The rulers meet and plot against me,but I will study your teachings.
24. Your instructions give me pleasure;they are my advisers.
25. I lie defeated in the dust;revive me, as you have promised.
26. I confessed all I have done, and you answered me;teach me your ways.
27. Help me to understand your laws,and I will meditate on your wonderful teachings.
