Psalms 119:65-72

65Lord, you have treated your servant well, just as you promised.

66Teach me good judgment and discernment, for I rely on your commands.

67Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word.

68You are good, and you do what is good; teach me your statutes.

69The arrogant have smeared me with lies, but I obey your precepts with all my heart.

70Their hearts are hard and insensitive, but I delight in your instruction.

71It was good for me to be afflicted so that I could learn your statutes.

72Instruction from your lips is better for me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
