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.
77. Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live; For thy law is my delight.
78. Let the proud be put to shame; For they have overthrown me wrongfully: But I will meditate on thy precepts.
79. Let those that fear thee turn unto me; And they shall know thy testimonies.
80. Let my heart be perfect in thy statutes, That I be not put to shame.
81. My soul fainteth for thy salvation; But I hope in thy word.
82. Mine eyes fail for thy word, While I say, When wilt thou comfort me?
83. For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.
84. How many are the days of thy servant? When wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
