Psalm 119:66-72

New King James Version

⁶⁶Teach me good judgment and ^(A)knowledge,
For I believe Your commandments.
⁶⁷Before I was ^(B)afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
⁶⁸You are ^(C)good, and do good;
Teach me Your statutes.
⁶⁹The proud have ^(D)forged^[a] a lie against me,
But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.
⁷⁰^(E)Their heart is ^[b]as fat as grease,
But I delight in Your law.
⁷¹It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
⁷²^(F)The law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.
