69 Arrogant people have smeared me with lies,⌊yet⌋ I obey your guiding principles with all my heart.
70 Their hearts are cold and insensitive,⌊yet⌋ I am happy with your teachings.
71 It was good that I had to sufferin order to learn your laws.
72 The teachings ⌊that come⌋ from your mouth are worth more to methan thousands in gold or silver.
73 Your hands created me and made me what I am.Help me understand so that I may learn your commandments.
74 Those who fear you will see me and rejoice,because my hope is based on your word.
75 I know that your regulations are fair, O Lord,and that you were right to make me suffer.
