20 I wear myself out with desirefor your laws all the time.
21 You scold proud people;those who ignore your commands are cursed.
22 Don’t let me be insulted and hatedbecause I keep your rules.
23 Even if princes speak against me,I, your servant, will think about your demands.
24 Your rules give me pleasure;they give me good advice.
25 I am about to die.Give me life, as you have promised.
26 I told you about my life, and you answered me.Teach me your demands.
