ט Teth65Do good to your servant according to your word, Lord.66Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I trust your commands.67Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word.68You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.69Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep your precepts with all my heart.70Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law.71It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.72The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
