22. Take scorn and contempt away from me, for I have kept Your testimonies.
23. Though princes sit and talk against me, Your servant meditates on Your decrees.
24. For Your testimonies are my delight— they are also my counselors.
25. My soul clings to the dust. Revive me according to Your word!
26. I told of my ways and You answered me. Teach me Your statutes.
27. Help me discern the way of Your precepts, so I may meditate on Your wonders.
28. My soul weeps with grief. Make me stand firm with Your word.
