Psalm 119:65-72

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶⁵ You have dealt well with Your servant,
O Lord, according to Your word.
⁶⁶ Teach me good ^[a](A)discernment and knowledge,
For I believe in Your commandments.
^67 (B)Before I was afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.
⁶⁸ You are ^(C)good and ^(D)do good;
^(E)Teach me Your statutes.
⁶⁹ The arrogant ^[b]have ^(F)forged a lie against me;
With all my heart I will ^(G)observe Your precepts.
⁷⁰ Their heart is ^[c](H)covered with fat,
But I ^(I)delight in Your law.
⁷¹ It is ^(J)good for me that I was afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.
⁷² The ^(K)law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
