English Standard Version

69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,

I keep your precepts with all my heart.

70 Their hearts are callous and unfeeling,

but I delight in your law.

71 It was good for me to be afflicted

so that I might learn your decrees.

69 The proud have forged a lie against me:

But I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

70 Their heart is as fat as grease;

But I delight in thy law.

71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted;

That I might learn thy statutes.

69 Arrogant people smear me with lies,

but in truth I obey your commandments with all my heart.

70 Their hearts are dull and stupid,

but I delight in your instructions.

71 My suffering was good for me,

for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.

69 The proud have forged a lie against me,

But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.

70 Their heart is as fat as grease,

But I delight in Your law.

That I may learn Your statutes.

69 Proud people have made up lies about me,

but I will follow your orders with all my heart.

70 Those people have no feelings,

but I love your teachings.

71 It was good for me to suffer

so I would learn your demands.

69 The proud have forged a lie against me:

With my whole heart will I keep thy precepts.

70 Their heart is as fat as grease;

But I delight in thy law.

That I may learn thy statutes.

69 The proud have forged falsehood against me: I will observe thy precepts with my whole heart. 70 Their heart is as fat as grease: as for me, I delight in thy law.

71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn thy statutes.

69 Arrogant people have smeared me with lies, 

⸤yet⸥ I obey your guiding principles with all my heart. 

70 Their hearts are cold and insensitive, 

⸤yet⸥ I am happy with your teachings.

in order to learn your laws. 

69 The arrogant have smeared me with lies,

but I obey Your precepts with all my heart.

but I delight in your law.

71 It is good for me that I was humbled,

so that I might learn your statutes.

69 The arrogant smear me with lies;

I keep your precepts with my whole heart.

70 Their heart is insensitive like fat;

As for me, I take delight in your law.

so that I might learn your statutes.

69 Proud people have spread lies about me and have taken away my good name.

But I follow your rules with all my heart.

But I take delight in your law.

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.
