67. Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word.
68. You are good and do good; Teach me Your statutes.
69. The arrogant have forged a lie against me; With all my heart I will observe Your precepts.
70. Their heart is covered with fat, But I delight in Your law.
71. It is good for me that I was afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes.
72. The law of Your mouth is better to me Than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
73. Your hands made me and fashioned me; Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
74. May those who fear You see me and be glad, Because I wait for Your word.
75. I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are righteous, And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
76. O may Your lovingkindness comfort me, According to Your word to Your servant.
77. May Your compassion come to me that I may live, For Your law is my delight.
78. May the arrogant be ashamed, for they subvert me with a lie; But I shall meditate on Your precepts.
79. May those who fear You turn to me, Even those who know Your testimonies.
