65 You have dealt graciously with your servant, ♦︎
according to your word, O Lord.
66 O teach me true understanding and knowledge, ♦︎
for I have trusted in your commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, ♦︎
but now I keep your word.
68 You are gracious and do good; ♦︎
O Lord, teach me your statutes.
69 The proud have smeared me with lies, ♦︎
but I will keep your commandments with my whole heart.
70 Their heart has become gross with fat, ♦︎
but my delight is 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 dearer to me ♦︎
than a hoard of gold and silver.
73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me; ♦︎
give me understanding, that I may learn your commandments.
74 Those who fear you will be glad when they see me, ♦︎
because I have hoped in your word.
75 I know, O Lord, that your judgements are right, ♦︎
and that in very faithfulness you caused me to be troubled.
76 Let your faithful love be my comfort, ♦︎
according to your promise to your servant.
77 Let your tender mercies come to me, that I may live, ♦︎
for your law is my delight.
78 Let the proud be put to shame, for they wrong me with lies; ♦︎
but I will meditate on your commandments.
79 Let those who fear you turn to me, ♦︎
even those who know your testimonies.
80 Let my heart be sound in your statutes, ♦︎
that I may not be put to shame.
