TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Jehovah, according to thy word. Teach me good discernment and knowledge; for I have believed in thy commandments. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep thy word. read more.
Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes. The proud have forged falsehood against me: I will observe thy precepts with my whole heart. Their heart is as fat as grease: as for me, I delight in thy law. It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth do I hate. Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am intelligence; I have strength. By me kings reign, and rulers make just decrees; by me princes rule, and nobles, all the judges of the earth. I love those that love me; and they that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; durable wealth and righteousness. My fruit is better than fine gold, yea, than pure gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
