Psalms 119:66-73 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

66. Teach me good judgment and discernment, for I rely on Your commands.

67. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word.

68. You are good, and You do what is good; teach me Your statutes.

69. The arrogant have smeared me with lies, but I obey Your precepts with all my heart.

70. Their hearts are hard and insensitive, but I delight in Your instruction.

71. It was good for me to be afflicted so that I could learn Your statutes.

72. Instruction from Your lips is better for methan thousands of gold and silver pieces.

73. Your hands made me and formed me; give me understandingso that I can learn Your commands.
