71. It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes.
72. The law from Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
73. Your hands have made me, cunningly fashioned and established me; give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
74. Those who reverently and worshipfully fear You will see me and be glad, because I have hoped in Your word and tarried for it.
75. I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right and righteous, and that in faithfulness You have afflicted me. [Heb. 12:10.]
76. Let, I pray You, Your merciful kindness and steadfast love be for my comfort, according to Your promise to Your servant.
77. Let Your tender mercy and loving-kindness come to me that I may live, for Your law is my delight!
