Psalms 119:20
18 Open my eyes that I may see wondrous things from Your law.
19 I am a stranger on the earth; do not hide Your commandments from me.
My soul is consumed with longing for Your judgments at all times.
21 You rebuke the arrogant— the cursed who stray from Your commandments.
22 Remove my scorn and contempt, for I have kept Your testimonies.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
