67. Before I was afflicted I went astray; But now I observe thy word.
68. Thou art good, and doest good; Teach me thy statutes.
69. The proud have forged a lie against me: With my whole heart will I keep thy precepts.
70. Their heart is as fat as grease; But I delight in thy law.
71. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.
72. The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver.
73. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
74. They that fear thee shall see me and be glad, Because I have hoped in thy word.
75. I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.
76. Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort, According to thy word unto thy servant.
77. Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; For thy law is my delight.
