38. Confirm thy word unto thy slave, who is devoted to thy fear.
39. Turn away my reproach which I have feared, for thy judgments are good.
40. Behold, I have longed after thy precepts; cause me to live in thy righteousness.
41. VAU. Let thy mercy come unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy spoken word.
42. And I shall answer him that reproaches me, by saying that I trust in thy word.
43. And take not at any time the word of truth out of my mouth; for I wait for thy judgment.
44. So shall I keep thy law continually from age to age.
45. And I will walk at liberty, for I sought thy commandments.
