⁶⁷ Before I was ^(A)afflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.

⁷¹ It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.

⁷⁵ I know, O Lord, ^(A)that Your judgments are ^[a]right,
And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.

⁹² Unless Your law had been my delight,
I would then have perished in my affliction.
