23. Though princes meet and talk against me,your servant meditates on your statutes.
24. Your testimonies are my delight;they are my counselors.
25. My soul clings to the dust;give me life in accord with your word.
26. I disclosed my ways and you answered me;teach me your statutes.
27. Make me understand the way of your precepts;I will ponder your wondrous deeds.
28. My soul is depressed;lift me up acccording to your word.
29. Lead me from the way of deceit;favor me with your law.
30. The way of loyalty I have chosen;I have kept your judgments.
31. I cling to your testimonies, Lord;do not let me come to shame.
32. I will run the way of your commandments,for you will broaden my heart.
33. Lord, teach me the way of your statutes;I shall keep them with care.
