Teth

65You have done many good things for me, Lord,

just as you promised.

66I believe in your commands;

now teach me good judgment and knowledge.

67I used to wander off until you disciplined me;

but now I closely follow your word.

68You are good and do only good;

teach me your decrees.

69Arrogant people smear me with lies,

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

70Their hearts are dull and stupid,

but I delight in your instructions.

71My suffering was good for me,

for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.

72Your instructions are more valuable to me

than millions in gold and silver.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

You have dealt well with your servant,

O Lord, according to your word.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge,

for I believe in your commandments.

Before I was afflicted I went astray,

but now I keep your word.

You are good and do good;

teach me your statutes.

The insolent smear me with lies,

but with my whole heart I keep your precepts;

their heart is unfeeling like fat,

but I delight in your law.

It is good for me that I was afflicted,

that I might learn your statutes.

The law of your mouth is better to me

than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Do good to your servant

according to your word, Lord.

Teach me knowledge and good judgment,

for I trust your commands.

Before I was afflicted I went astray,

but now I obey your word.

You are good, and what you do is good;

teach me your decrees.

Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,

I keep your precepts with all my heart.

Their hearts are callous and unfeeling,

but I delight in your law.

It was good for me to be afflicted

so that I might learn your decrees.

The law from your mouth is more precious to me

than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Lord, you have treated your servant well,

just as you promised.

Teach me good judgment and discernment,

for I rely on your commands.

Before I was afflicted I went astray,

but now I keep your word.

You are good, and you do what is good;

teach me your statutes.

The arrogant have smeared me with lies,

but I obey your precepts with all my heart.

Their hearts are hard and insensitive,

but I delight in your instruction.

It was good for me to be afflicted

so that I could learn your statutes.

Instruction from your lips is better for me

than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

You have dealt well with your servant,

O Yahweh, according to your word.

Teach me good discernment and knowledge,

for I believe your commands.

Before I was afflicted, I was going astray,

but now I heed your word.

You are good and do good;

teach me your statutes.

The arrogant smear me with lies;

I keep your precepts with my whole heart.

Their heart is insensitive like fat;

As for me, I take delight in your law.

It is good for me that I was afflicted,

so that I might learn your statutes.

The law of your mouth is better to me

than thousands of gold and silver coins.

KJV 1900King James Version

TETH.

Thou hast dealt well with thy servant,

O Lord, according unto thy word.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge:

For I have believed thy commandments.

Before I was afflicted I went astray:

But now have I kept thy word.

Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

The proud have forged a lie against me:

But I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

Their heart is as fat as grease;

But I delight in thy law.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted;

That I might learn thy statutes.

The law of thy mouth is better unto me

Than thousands of gold and silver.
