Psalms 119:70-78

⁷⁰Their heart is gross like fat; but I delight in Thy law.

⁷¹It is good for me that I have been afflicted, in order that I might learn Thy statutes.

⁷²The law of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

⁷³JOD. Thy 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 hope in Thy word.

⁷⁵I know, O LORD, that Thy judgments are righteous, and that in faithfulness Thou hast afflicted me.

⁷⁶Let, I pray Thee, Thy lovingkindness be ready to comfort me, according to Thy promise 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 distorted my cause with falsehood; but I will meditate in Thy precepts.
