40 See how much I want to obey your instructions! Be good to me, and let me live.
41 Lord, show me your faithful love. Save me, as you promised.
42 Then I will have an answer for those who make fun of me for trusting what you say.
43 Let me always say what is true. I depend on your judgment to be fair.
44 I will follow your teachings forever and ever.
45 So I will live in freedom, because I do my best to know your instructions.
46 I will discuss your rules with kings, and no one will embarrass me.
