40. Lo, I have longed for Thy precepts, In Thy righteousness quicken Thou me,
41. [Waw.] And meet me doth Thy kindness, O Jehovah, Thy salvation according to Thy saying.
42. And I answer him who is reproaching me a word, For I have trusted in Thy word.
43. And Thou takest not utterly away From my mouth the word of truth, Because for Thy judgment I have hoped.
44. And I keep Thy law continually, To the age and for ever.
45. And I walk habitually in a broad place, For Thy precepts I have sought.
46. And I speak of Thy testimonies before kings, And I am not ashamed.
