66Teach me proper discernment and understanding, for I have believed in your commandments.
67Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I observe your word.
68You are good, and you are one who does good; teach me your statutes.
69The arrogant have smeared me with lies, but I keep your instructions with my whole heart.
70Their hearts are hardened, but I delight in your law.
71It is good for me that I have suffered so that I would learn your statutes.
72Instruction from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.
73Your hands have made and fashioned me; give me understanding so that I may learn your commandments.
74Those who honor you will be glad when they see me because I find hope in your word.
75I know, Yahweh, that your decrees are just, and that in faithfulness you afflicted me.
