Psalm 119:65-80

New American Standard Bible

⁶⁵ You have treated Your servant well,
Lord, according to Your word.
⁶⁶ Teach me good ^[a](A)discernment and knowledge,
For I believe in Your commandments.
^67 (B)Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
⁶⁸ You are ^(C)good and You ^(D)do good;
^(E)Teach me Your statutes.
⁶⁹ The arrogant ^[b]have ^(F)forged a lie against me;
With all my heart I will ^(G)comply with Your precepts.
⁷⁰ Their heart is ^(H)insensitive, like fat,
But I ^(I)delight in Your Law.
⁷¹ It is ^(J)good for me that I was afflicted,
So that I may learn Your statutes.
⁷² The ^(K)Law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

^73 (L)Your hands made me and ^[c]fashioned me;
^(M)Give me understanding, so that I may learn Your commandments.
⁷⁴ May those who ^[d]fear You ^(N)see me and be glad,
Because I ^[e](O)wait for Your word.
⁷⁵ I know, Lord, that Your judgments are ^(P)righteous,
And that You have afflicted me ^(Q)in faithfulness.
⁷⁶ May Your favor ^[f]comfort me,
According to Your ^[g]word to Your servant.
⁷⁷ May ^(R)Your compassion come to me so that I may live,
For Your Law is my ^(S)delight.
⁷⁸ May ^(T)the arrogant be put to shame, because they lead me astray ^(U)with a lie;
But I shall ^(V)meditate on Your precepts.
⁷⁹ May those who ^[h]fear You turn to me,
And those who know Your testimonies.
⁸⁰ May my heart be ^[i](W)blameless in Your statutes,
So that I will not ^(X)be ashamed.
