Psalms 119:40
38 Establish Your word to Your servant, to produce reverence for You.
39 Turn away the disgrace I dread, for Your judgments are good.
How I long for Your precepts! Revive me in Your righteousness.
41 May Your loving devotion come to me, O LORD, Your salvation, according to Your promise.
42 Then I can answer him who taunts, for I trust in Your word.
