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.
