20 I’m worn out by longingevery minute for your rules!
21 You rebuke the arrogant, accursed peoplewho stray from your commandments.
22 Take all their insults and contempt away from mebecause I’ve kept your laws!
23 Even if rulers gather and scheme against me,your servant will contemplate your statutes!
24 Yes, your laws are my joy—they are my most trusted advisors!
25 My life is stuck in the dirt.Now make me live again according to your promise!
26 I confessed my ways and you answered me.Now teach me your statutes!
