|  | 65 Do good to Your servant- according to Your Word, O Lord.
 66 Teach me knowledge and good judgment,
 - for I believe in Your commands.
 67 Before I was afflicted  I went astray,
 - but now I obey Your Word.
 68 You are good, and what You do is good;
 - teach me Your decrees.
 69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,
 - I keep Your precepts with all my heart.
 70 Their hearts are callous and unfeeling,
 - but I delight in Your law.
 71 It was good for me to be afflicted
 - that I might learn Your decrees.
 72 The law from Your mouth is more precious to me
 - than thousands of pieces of silver and of gold.
