Psalms 119:65-72

65You have treated me well, O Lord, as you promised.

66Teach me ⌞to use⌟ good judgment and knowledge, because I believe in your commandments.

67Before you made me suffer, I used to wander off, but now I hold on to your word.

68You are good, and you do good things. Teach me your laws.

69Arrogant people have smeared me with lies, ⌞yet⌟ I obey your guiding principles with all my heart.

70Their hearts are cold and insensitive, ⌞yet⌟ I am happy with your teachings.

71It was good that I had to suffer in order to learn your laws.

72The teachings ⌞that come⌟ from your mouth are worth more to me than thousands in gold or silver.
