20. My soul within me breaks,and doth much fainting still endure,Through longing that it hath all timesunto thy judgments pure.
21. Thou hast rebuk'd the cursed proud,who from thy precepts swerve.
22. Reproach and shame remove from me,for I thy laws observe.
23. Against me princes spake with spite,while they in council sat:But I thy servant did uponthy statutes meditate.
24. My comfort, and my heart's delight,thy testimonies be;And they, in all my doubts and fears,are counsellors to me.
25. My soul to dust cleaves: quicken me,according to thy word.
26. My ways I shew'd, and me thou heard'st:teach me thy statutes, Lord.
