Psalms 119:24
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.
Your testimonies are indeed my delight; they are my counselors.
25 My soul cleaves to the dust; revive me according to Your word.
26 I recounted my ways, and You answered me; teach me Your statutes.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
