Psalms 119:65-72

Tet

65 Lord, You have treated Your servant well, just as You promised.
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 me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
