Psalm 119:70–72

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.

72 The law from your mouth is more precious to me

than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.

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.

72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me

Than thousands of gold and silver.

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.

72 Your instructions are more valuable to me

than millions in gold and silver.

70 Their heart is as fat as grease,

But I delight in Your law.

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 me

Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

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.

72 Your teachings are worth more to me

than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.

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 may learn thy statutes.

72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me

Than thousands of gold and silver.

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.

72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

70 Their hearts are cold and insensitive, 

⸤yet⸥ I am happy with your teachings. 

71 It was good that I had to suffer 

in order to learn your laws. 

72 The teachings ⸤that come⸥ from your mouth are worth more to me 

than thousands in gold or silver. 

70 Their hearts are hard and insensitive,

but I delight in Your instruction.

71 It was good for me to be afflicted

so that I could learn Your statutes.

72 Instruction from Your lips is better for me

than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

70 Their hearts are thick like fat,

but I delight in your law.

71 It is good for me that I was humbled,

so that I might learn your statutes.

72 The law of your mouth is better to me

than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

70 Their heart is insensitive like fat;

As for me, I take delight in your law.

71 It is good for me that I was afflicted,

so that I might learn your statutes.

72 The law of your mouth is better to me

than thousands of gold and silver coins.

70 Their hearts are hard and stubborn. They don’t feel anything.

But I take delight in your law.

71 It was good for me to suffer.

That’s what helped me to understand your orders.

72 The law you gave is worth more to me

than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.

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.
