20 My soul breaks with longingFor Your judgments at all times.
21 You rebuke the proud—the cursed,Who stray from Your commandments.
22 Remove from me reproach and contempt,For I have kept Your testimonies.
23 Princes also sit and speak against me,But Your servant meditates on Your statutes.
24 Your testimonies also are my delightAnd my counselors.
25 My soul clings to the dust;Revive me according to Your word.
26 I have declared my ways, and You answered me;Teach me Your statutes.
