Psalm 119:65-72 - Teth

⁶⁵ Teth.
You have dealt well with Your servant,
O Lord, according to Your promise.
⁶⁶
Teach me good judgment (discernment) and knowledge,
For I have believed and trusted and relied on Your commandments.
⁶⁷
Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep and honor Your word [with loving obedience].
⁶⁸
You are good and do good;
Teach me Your statutes.
⁶⁹
The arrogant have forged a lie against me,
But I will keep Your precepts with all my heart.
⁷⁰
Their heart is insensitive like fat [their minds are dull and brutal],
But I delight in Your law.
⁷¹
It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
⁷²
The law from Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
