20 My heart is filled with longing for your laws at all times.
21 You correct proud people. They are under your curse. They wander away from your commands.
22 I obey your covenant laws. So don't let evil people laugh at me or hate me.
23 Even if rulers sit together and tell lies about me, I will spend time thinking about your orders.
24 Your covenant laws are my delight. They give me wise advice.
25 I lie in the dust. I'm about to die. Keep me alive as you have promised.
26 I told you how I've lived, and you gave me your answer. Teach me your orders.
