21 You rebuke the proud,the ones under a curse, who wander from Your commands.
22 Take insult and contempt away from me, for I have kept Your decrees.
23 Though princes sit together speaking against me, Your servant will think about Your statutes;
24 Your decrees are my delightand my counselors.
25 My life is down in the dust; give me life through Your word.
26 I told You about my life,and You listened to me;teach me Your statutes.
27 Help me understandthe meaning of Your preceptsso that I can meditate on Your wonders.
