Tehillim 119:66-75 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

66. Teach me good judgment and da'as; for I have believed in Thy mitzvot.

67. Before I was afflicted I went astray; but now have I been shomer over Thy word.

68. Thou art tov, and doest tov; teach me Thy chukkot.

69. The zedim (arrogant ones) have forged a sheker against me; but I will keep Thy pikkudim with my kol lev.

70. Their lev is callous like chelev; I delight in Thy torah.

71. It is tov for me that I have been afflicted l'ma'an (in order that) I might learn Thy chukkot.

72. The torah of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of zahav and kesef.

73. Thy hands have made me and established me: give me understanding, that I may learn Thy mitzvot.

74. They that fear Thee will be glad when they see me; for I have hoped in Thy Davar.

75. I know, Hashem, Thy mishpatim are tzedek, and Thou in emunah (faithfulness) hast afflicted me.
