⁶⁵ You have dealt well with your servant,
   O Lord, according to your word.
⁶⁶ Teach me good judgement and knowledge,
   for I believe in your commandments.
⁶⁷ Before I was humbled I went astray,
   but now I keep your word.
⁶⁸ You are good and do good;
   teach me your statutes.
⁶⁹ The arrogant smear me with lies,
   but with my whole heart I keep your precepts.
⁷⁰ Their hearts are fat and gross,
   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.

⁷³ Your hands have made and fashioned me;
   give me understanding that I may learn your commandments.
⁷⁴ Those who fear you shall see me and rejoice,
   because I have hoped in your word.
⁷⁵ I know, O Lord, that your judgements are right,
   and that in faithfulness you have humbled me.
⁷⁶ Let your steadfast love become my comfort
   according to your promise to your servant.
⁷⁷ Let your mercy come to me, that I may live;
   for your law is my delight.
⁷⁸ Let the arrogant be put to shame,
   because they have subverted me with guile;
   as for me, I will meditate on your precepts.
⁷⁹ Let those who fear you turn to me,
   so that they may know your decrees.
⁸⁰ May my heart be blameless in your statutes,
   so that I may not be put to shame.
