Psalm 119:69-72
New American Standard Bible
69 The arrogant [a]have (A)forged a lie against me;
With all my heart I will (B)comply with Your precepts.
70 Their heart is (C)insensitive, like fat,
But I (D)delight in Your Law.
71 It is (E)good for me that I was afflicted,
So that I may learn Your statutes.
72 The (F)Law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
