39 Turn away from me the taunts I dread,for your judgments are good.
40 See how I long for your precepts;in your righteousness give me life.
41 Let your mercy come to me, Lord,salvation in accord with your promise.
42 Let me answer my taunters with a word,for I trust in your word.
43 Do not take the word of truth from my mouth,for in your judgments is my hope.
44 I will keep your law always,for all time and forever.
45 I will walk freely in an open spacebecause I cherish your precepts.
