Psalms 119:65-72

Teth

65 You have dealt well with your servant, O Yahweh, according to your word.
66 Teach me good discernment and knowledge, for I believe your commands.
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].
