Remove from me their scorn and contempt, for I keep your statutes.

I hold fast to your statutes, LORD; do not let me be put to shame.

Take away from me scorn and contempt, for I have kept your testimonies.

I cling to your testimonies, O LORD; let me not be put to shame!

Don’t let them scorn and insult me, for I have obeyed your laws.

I cling to your laws. LORD, don’t let me be put to shame!

Take insult and contempt away from me,  for I have kept your decrees.

I cling to your decrees; LORD, do not put me to shame.

Remove from me reproach and contempt: For I have kept thy testimonies.

I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.

Remove from me reproach and contempt, For I have kept Your testimonies.

I cling to Your testimonies; O LORD, do not put me to shame!

Be generous with me and I’ll live a full life; not for a minute will I take my eyes off your road. Open my eyes so I can see what you show me of your miracle-wonders. I’m a stranger in these parts; give me clear directions. My soul is starved and hungry, ravenous!— insatiable for your nourishing commands. And those who think they know so much, ignoring everything you tell them—let them have it! Don’t let them mock and humiliate me; I’ve been careful to do just what you said. While bad neighbors maliciously gossip about me, I’m absorbed in pondering your wise counsel. Yes, your sayings on life are what give me delight; I listen to them as to good neighbors! * * *

I’m feeling terrible—I couldn’t feel worse! Get me on my feet again. You promised, remember? When I told my story, you responded; train me well in your deep wisdom. Help me understand these things inside and out so I can ponder your miracle-wonders. My sad life’s dilapidated, a falling-down barn; build me up again by your Word. Barricade the road that goes Nowhere; grace me with your clear revelation. I choose the true road to Somewhere, I post your road signs at every curve and corner. I grasp and cling to whatever you tell me; GOD, don’t let me down! I’ll run the course you lay out for me if you’ll just show me how. * * *

Take disgrace and contempt away from me, For I comply with Your testimonies.

I cling to Your testimonies; LORD, do not put me to shame!

Take reproach and contempt away from me, For I observe Your testimonies.

I cling tightly to Your testimonies; O LORD, do not put me to shame!

Spare me shame and humiliation, for I observe your rules.

I hold fast to your rules. O LORD, do not let me be ashamed!
