21. Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do wander from thy commandments.
22. Take away from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.
23. Princes also sat and talked against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.
24. Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.
25. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.
26. I declared my ways, and thou answeredst me: teach me thy statutes.
