“Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.”
Let the arrogant be put to shame, because they subvert me with guile; as for me, I will meditate on your precepts. The petition against the wicked is paired with the psalmist's commitment to law-meditation ('I will meditate on your precepts'). This verse opposes contemplative obedience to wickedness.
