ט TETH

65 You have dealt well with Your servant,
O Lord, according to Your word.
66 Teach me good judgment and (A)knowledge,
For I believe Your commandments.
67 Before I was (B)afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
68 You are (C)good, and do good;
Teach me Your statutes.
69 The 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.
71 It 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.

י YOD

73 (G)Your hands have made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
74 (H)Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped in Your word.
75 I know, O Lord, (I)that Your judgments are [c]right,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
76 Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,
According to Your word to Your servant.
77 Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;
For Your law is my delight.
78 Let the proud (J)be ashamed,
For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;
But I will meditate on Your precepts.
79 Let those who fear You turn to me,
Those who know Your testimonies.
80 Let my heart be blameless regarding Your statutes,
That I may not be ashamed.
