Psalm 119:21–23

21 You rebuke the arrogant, who are accursed,

those who stray from your commands.

22 Remove from me their scorn and contempt,

for I keep your statutes.

23 Though rulers sit together and slander me,

your servant will meditate on your decrees.

21 You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones,

who wander from your commandments.

22 Take away from me scorn and contempt,

for I have kept your testimonies.

23 Even though princes sit plotting against me,

your servant will meditate on your statutes.

21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed,

Which do err from thy commandments.

22 Remove from me reproach and contempt;

For I have kept thy testimonies.

23 Princes also did sit and speak against me:

But thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

21 You rebuke the arrogant;

those who wander from your commands are cursed.

22 Don’t let them scorn and insult me,

for I have obeyed your laws.

23 Even princes sit and speak against me,

but I will meditate on your decrees.

21 You rebuke the proud—the cursed,

Who stray from Your commandments.

22 Remove from me reproach and contempt,

For I have kept Your testimonies.

23 Princes also sit and speak against me,

But Your servant meditates on Your statutes.

21 You scold proud people;

those who ignore your commands are cursed.

22 Don’t let me be insulted and hated

because I keep your rules.

23 Even if princes speak against me,

I, your servant, will think about your demands.

21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed,

That do wander from thy commandments.

22 Take away from me reproach and contempt;

For I have kept thy testimonies.

23 Princes also sat and talked against me;

But thy servant did meditate on thy statutes.

21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, who wander from thy commandments.

22 Roll off from me reproach and contempt; for I observe thy testimonies.

23 Princes also did sit and talk together against me: thy servant doth meditate in thy statutes.

21 You threaten arrogant people, who are condemned 

and wander away from your commandments. 

22 Remove the insults and contempt that have fallen on me 

because I have obeyed your written instructions. 

23 Even though influential people plot against me, 

I reflect on your laws. 

21 You rebuke the proud,

the ones under a curse,

who wander from Your commands.

22 Take insult and contempt away from me,

for I have kept Your decrees.

23 Though princes sit together speaking against me,

Your servant will think about Your statutes;

21 You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones,

who wander from your commandments;

22 take away from me their scorn and contempt,

for I have kept your decrees.

23 Even though princes sit plotting against me,

your servant will meditate on your statutes.

21 You rebuke the arrogant, the accursed,

who stray from your commands.

22 Remove from me scorn and contempt,

for I have kept your testimonies.

23 Even though princes sit and speak against me,

your servant meditates on your statutes.

21 You correct proud people. They are under your curse.

They wander away from your commands.

22 I obey your covenant laws.

So don’t let evil people laugh at me or hate me.

23 Even if rulers sit together and tell lies about me,

I will spend time thinking about your orders.
