Turn thou away my fear'd reproach; for good thy judgments be.
Turn away my reproach which I fear: For thy judgments are good.
Turn away my reproach which I fear and dread, for Your ordinances are good.
Turn away my reproach whereof I am afraid; For thine ordinances are good.
Remove the insults that I dread because your rules are good.
Mine eyes do fail with looking long for thy salvation, The word of thy pure righteousness while I do wait upon.
My mouth I have wide opened, and panted earnestly, While after thy commandements I long'd exceedingly.
My soul within me breaks, and doth much fainting still endure, Through longing that it hath all times unto thy judgments pure.
Reproach and shame remove from me, for I thy laws observe.
I to thy testimonies cleave; shame do not on me cast.
The word of truth out of my mouth take thou not utterly; For on thy judgments righteous my hope doth still rely.
That very right thy judgments are I know, and do confess; And that thou hast afflicted me in truth and faithfulness.
Unspotted is the fear of God, and doth endure for ever: The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
Free me from all my trespasses, the fool's scorn make not me.
From heav'n he shall send down, and me from his reproach defend That would devour me: God his truth and mercy forth shall send.
