²¹ Thou hast rebuked the zedim (arrogant ones) that are arurim (cursed ones), which do wander from Thy mitzvot.

²² Remove from me cherpah (reproach) and contempt; for I have kept Thy edot (testimonies).

²³ Though sarim (princes) also sit and speak slander against me, yet Thy eved meditates on Thy chukkot.
