Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.

Turn away my reproach which I fear. The reproach of the enemy makes the suppliant fear that he may come to a bad end at last (cf. ; ). Or, let not my sin and its chastisement turn to the reproach of the truth, and occasion blasphemy against God (Cocceius), on the part of the enemy, who will lay the blame on the judgments and statutes, and the profession of thy worship (Rivetus).

For thy judgments are good - not destructive, but saving corrective to thy people.
