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.
