Psalm 119:65-79

Complete Jewish Bible

⁶⁵ You have treated your servant well,
Adonai, in keeping with your word.
⁶⁶ Teach me good judgment and knowledge,
because I trust in your mitzvot.
⁶⁷ Before I was humbled, I used to go astray;
but now I observe your word.
⁶⁸ You are good, and you do good;
teach me your laws.
⁶⁹ The arrogant are slandering me,
but I will wholeheartedly keep your precepts.
⁷⁰ Their hearts are as thick as fat,
but I take delight in your Torah.
⁷¹ It is for my good that I have been humbled;
it was so that I would learn your laws.
⁷² The Torah you have spoken means more to me
than a fortune in gold and silver.

⁷³ Your hands made and formed me;
give me understanding, so I can learn your mitzvot.
⁷⁴ Those who fear you rejoice at the sight of me,
because I put my hope in your word.
⁷⁵ I know, Adonai, that your rulings are righteous,
that even when you humble me you are faithful.
⁷⁶ Let your grace comfort me,
in keeping with your promise to your servant.
⁷⁷ Show me pity, and I will live,
for your Torah is my delight.
⁷⁸ Let the proud be ashamed, because they wrong me with lies;
as for me, I will meditate on your precepts.
⁷⁹ Let those who fear you turn to me,
along with those who know your instruction.
