41 May Your (N)favor also come to me, Lord,
Your salvation (O)according to Your [c]word;

For I trust in Your word.
43 And do not take the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
For I [d](R)wait for Your judgments.
44 So I will (S)keep Your Law continually,
Forever and ever.
45 And I will (T)walk [e]at liberty,
For I (U)seek Your precepts.
46 I will also speak of Your testimonies (V)before kings
And shall not be ashamed.
47 I will (W)delight in Your commandments,
Which I (X)love.
48 And I shall lift up my hands to Your commandments,
Which I (Y)love;
And I will (Z)meditate on Your statutes.
