Tehillim 119:68-76 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

68. Thou art tov, and doest tov; teach me Thy chukkot.

69. The zedim (arrogant ones) have forged a sheker against me; but I will keep Thy pikkudim with my kol lev.

70. Their lev is callous like chelev; I delight in Thy torah.

71. It is tov for me that I have been afflicted l'ma'an (in order that) I might learn Thy chukkot.

72. The torah of Thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of zahav and kesef.

73. Thy hands have made me and established me: give me understanding, that I may learn Thy mitzvot.

74. They that fear Thee will be glad when they see me; for I have hoped in Thy Davar.

75. I know, Hashem, Thy mishpatim are tzedek, and Thou in emunah (faithfulness) hast afflicted me.

76. Let now Thy chesed be for my comfort, according to Thy word unto Thy eved.
