38 Confirm thy word unto thy slave, who is devoted to thy fear.
39 Turn away my reproach which I have feared, for thy judgments are good.
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts; cause me to live in thy righteousness.
41 VAU. Let thy mercy come unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy spoken word.
42 And I shall answer him that reproaches me, by saying that I trust in thy word.
43 And take not at any time the word of truth out of my mouth; for I wait for thy judgment.
44 So shall I keep thy law continually from age to age.
