Psalm 119:65-72

Good News Translation

⁶⁵ You have kept your promise, Lord,
    and you are good to me, your servant.
⁶⁶ Give me wisdom and knowledge,
    because I trust in your commands.
⁶⁷ Before you punished me, I used to go wrong,
    but now I obey your word.
⁶⁸ How good you are—how kind!
    Teach me your commands.
⁶⁹ The proud have told lies about me,
    but with all my heart I obey your instructions.
⁷⁰ They have no understanding,
    but I find pleasure in your law.
⁷¹ My punishment was good for me,
    because it made me learn your commands.
⁷² The law that you gave means more to me
    than all the money in the world.
