²³ Even though princes sit plotting against me,
    thy servant will meditate on thy statutes.
²⁴ Thy testimonies are my delight,
    they are my counselors.

²⁶ When I told of my ways, thou didst answer me;
    teach me thy statutes!
²⁷ Make me understand the way of thy precepts,
    and I will meditate on thy wondrous works.

²⁹ Put false ways far from me;
    and graciously teach me thy law!
³⁰ I have chosen the way of faithfulness,
    I set thy ordinances before me.
