Psalm 119:70-76 American Standard Version (ASV)

70. Their heart is as fat as grease; But I delight in thy law.

71. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.

72. The law of thy mouth is better unto me Than thousands of gold and silver.

73. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: Give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

74. They that fear thee shall see me and be glad, Because I have hoped in thy word.

75. I know, O Jehovah, that thy judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me.

76. Let, I pray thee, thy lovingkindness be for my comfort, According to thy word unto thy servant.
