English Standard Version

Waw

⁴¹Let your ^(A)steadfast love come to me, O Lord,
    your salvation ^(B)according to your promise;
⁴²then ^(C)shall I have an answer for him ^(D)who taunts me,
    for I trust in your word.
⁴³And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,
    for my ^(E)hope is in your rules.
⁴⁴I will keep your law continually,
    forever and ever,
⁴⁵and I shall walk ^(F)in a wide place,
    for I have ^(G)sought your precepts.
⁴⁶I will also speak of your testimonies ^(H)before kings
    and shall not be put to shame,
⁴⁷for I ^(I)find my delight in your commandments,
    which I love.
⁴⁸I will ^(J)lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love,
    and I will ^(K)meditate on your statutes.
