20 At all times my soul is stirredwith longing for your judgments.
21 With a curse you rebuke the proudwho stray from your commandments.
22 Free me from disgrace and contempt,for I keep your testimonies.
23 Though princes meet and talk against me,your servant meditates on your statutes.
24 Your testimonies are my delight;they are my counselors.
25 My soul clings to the dust;give me life in accord with your word.
26 I disclosed my ways and you answered me;teach me your statutes.
