67. Before I was afflicted, I was going astray, but now I heed your word.
68. You are good and do good; teach me your statutes.
69. The arrogant smear me with lies; I keep your precepts with my whole heart.
70. Their heart is insensitive like fat; As for me, I take delight in your law.
71. It is good for me that I was afflicted, so that I might learn your statutes.
72. The law of your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver coins.
73. Your hands have made me and established me; give me understanding that I may learn your commands.
74. Those who fear you will see me and be glad, because I hope in your word.
75. I know, O Yahweh, that your judgments are right, and that in faithfulness you afflicted me.
76. Please let your loyal love comfort me, according to your word to your servant.
77. Let your mercies come to me, that I may live, for your law is my delight.
