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.

18 If the world hates you, be aware that it hated me before it hated you. 19If you belonged to the world,* the world would love you as its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the worldtherefore the world hates you. 20Remember the word that I said to you, Servants* are not greater than their master. If they persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also.
26 When the Advocate* comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf. 27You also are to testify because you have been with me from the beginning.
