21 You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed,those who stray from your commands.
22 Remove from me scorn and contempt,for I keep your statutes.
23 Though rulers sit together and slander me,your servant will meditate on your decrees.
24 Your statutes are my delight;they are my counsellors.
25 I am laid low in the dust;preserve my life according to your word.
26 I gave an account of my ways and you answered me;teach me your decrees.
27 Cause me to understand the way of your precepts,that I may meditate on your wonderful deeds.
