Psalm 119:65-73

Revised Standard Version

⁶⁵ Thou hast dealt well with thy servant,
    O Lord, according to thy word.
⁶⁶ Teach me good judgment and knowledge,
    for I believe in thy commandments.
⁶⁷ Before I was afflicted I went astray;
    but now I keep thy word.
⁶⁸ Thou art good and doest good;
    teach me thy statutes.
⁶⁹ The godless besmear me with lies,
    but with my whole heart I keep thy precepts;
⁷⁰ their heart is gross like fat,
    but I delight in thy law.
⁷¹ It is good for me that I was afflicted,
    that I might learn thy statutes.
⁷² The law of thy mouth is better to me
    than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

⁷³ Thy hands have made and fashioned me;
    give me understanding that I may learn thy commandments.
