25
For as long as I live I will speak, and as long as I have understanding I will answer.
26
O do not look on the sins of your people, but on those who serve you in truth.
27
Do not take note of the endeavors of those who act wickedly, but of the endeavors of those who have kept your covenants amid afflictions.
28
Do not think of those who have lived wickedly in your sight, but remember those who have willingly acknowledged that you are to be feared.
29
Do not will the destruction of those who have the ways of cattle, but regard those who have gloriously taught your law.
