71. It is good for me that I have been afflicted,That I may learn Your statutes.
72. The law of Your mouth is better to meThan thousands of coins of gold and silver.
73. Your hands have made me and fashioned me;Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.
74. Those who fear You will be glad when they see me,Because I have hoped in Your word.
75. I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are right,And that in faithfulness You have afflicted me.
76. Let, I pray, Your merciful kindness be for my comfort,According to Your word to Your servant.
77. Let Your tender mercies come to me, that I may live;For Your law is my delight.
78. Let the proud be ashamed,For they treated me wrongfully with falsehood;But I will meditate on Your precepts.
