69 People full of pride made up lies about me. But I keep obeying your instructions with all my heart.
70 Those people are so stupid that they care for nothing, but I enjoy studying your teachings.
71 Suffering was good for me; I learned your laws.
72 Your teachings are worth more to me than a thousand pieces of silver and gold.
73 With your hands you made me and helped me become what I am. Now help me learn and understand your commands.
74 Your followers will see me and be happy, because I trust in your word.
75 Lord, I know that your decisions are fair, and you were right to punish me.
