41  ^aLet your steadfast love come to me, O Lord,

your ^bsalvation ^caccording to your promise;

42  then shall I have an ^danswer for him who taunts me,

for I trust in your word.

43  And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth,

for my ^ehope is in your rules.

44  I will keep your law continually,

forever and ever,

45  and I shall walk in a wide place,

for I have sought your precepts.

46  I will also speak of your testimonies before kings

and shall not be put to shame,

47  for I find my delight in your commandments,

which I ^flove.

48  I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love,

and I will meditate on your statutes.
