20. My soul is crushed with longing After Your ordinances at all times.
21. You rebuke the arrogant, the cursed, Who wander from Your commandments.
22. Take away reproach and contempt from me, For I observe Your testimonies.
23. Even though princes sit and talk against me, Your servant meditates on Your statutes.
24. Your testimonies also are my delight; They are my counselors.
25. My soul cleaves to the dust; Revive me according to Your word.
26. I have told of my ways, and You have answered me; Teach me Your statutes.
27. Make me understand the way of Your precepts, So I will meditate on Your wonders.
28. My soul weeps because of grief; Strengthen me according to Your word.
