Psalms 119:66-82

⁶⁶Teach me good judgment and knowledge; For I have believed in thy commandments.

⁶⁷Before I was afflicted I went astray; But now I observe thy word.

⁶⁸Thou art good, and doest good; Teach me thy statutes.

⁶⁹The proud have forged a lie against me: With my whole heart will I keep thy precepts.

⁷⁰Their heart is as fat as grease; But I delight in thy law.

⁷¹It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.

⁷²The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver.

⁷³Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

⁷⁴They that fear thee shall see me and be glad, Because I have hoped in thy word.

⁷⁵I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.

⁷⁶Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort, According to thy word unto thy servant.

⁷⁷Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; For thy law is my delight.

⁷⁸Let the proud be put to shame; for they have overthrown me wrongfully: But I will meditate on thy precepts.

⁷⁹Let those that fear thee turn unto me; And they shall know thy testimonies.

⁸⁰Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, That I be not put to shame.

⁸¹My soul fainteth for thy salvation; But I hope in thy word.

⁸²Mine eyes fail for thy word, While I say, When wilt thou comfort me?
