65 Do goods to your servant

according to your word,t Lord.

66 Teach me knowledgeu and good judgment,

for I trust your commands.

67 Before I was afflictedv I went astray,w

but now I obey your word.x

68 You are good,y and what you do is good;

teach me your decrees.z

69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,a

I keep your precepts with all my heart.

70 Their hearts are callousb and unfeeling,

but I delight in your law.

71 It was good for me to be afflictedc

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.d

י Yodh
