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.
JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
I know, O LORD, that thy judgments [are] right, and [that] thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
