Psalms 119:21

19 I am a stranger on the earth; do not hide Your commandments from me.

20 My soul is consumed with longing for Your judgments at all times.

You rebuke the arrogant— the cursed who stray from Your commandments.

22 Remove my scorn and contempt, for I have kept Your testimonies.

23 Though rulers sit and slander me, Your servant meditates on Your statutes.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
