119:65 You are good 1 to your servant,
O Lord, just as you promised. 2
119:66 Teach me proper discernment 3 and understanding!
For I consider your commands to be reliable. 4
119:67 Before I was afflicted I used to stray off, 5
but now I keep your instructions. 6
119:68 You are good and you do good.
Teach me your statutes!
119:69 Arrogant people smear my reputation with lies, 7
but I observe your precepts with all my heart.
119:70 Their hearts are calloused, 8
but I find delight in your law.
119:71 It was good for me to suffer,
so that I might learn your statutes.
119:72 The law you have revealed is more important to me
than thousands of pieces of gold and silver. 9
י (Yod)
119:73 Your hands made me and formed me. 10
Give me understanding so that I might learn 11 your commands.
119:74 Your loyal followers will be glad when they see me, 12
for I find hope in your word.
119:75 I know, Lord, that your regulations 13 are just.
You disciplined me because of your faithful devotion to me. 14
119:76 May your loyal love console me,
as you promised your servant. 15
119:77 May I experience your compassion, 16 so I might live!
For I find delight in your law.
119:78 May the arrogant be humiliated, for they have slandered me! 17
But I meditate on your precepts.
119:79 May your loyal followers 18 turn to me,
those who know your rules.
119:80 May I be fully committed to your statutes, 19
so that I might not be ashamed.
