38 Confirm thy word unto thy servant, which belongeth unto the fear of thee.
39 Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid; for thy judgments are good.
40 Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.ו VAU.
41 Let thy mercies also come unto me, O Lord, even thy salvation, according to thy word.
42 So shall I have an answer for him that reproacheth me; for I trust in thy word.
43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.
44 So shall I observe thy law continually for ever and ever.
