19. I am here on earth for just a little while;do not hide your commands from me.
20. My heart aches with longing;I want to know your judgements at all times.
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.
