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