70 Their hearts are hard and stubborn. They don't feel anything. But I take delight in your law.
71 It was good for me to suffer. That's what helped me to understand your orders.
72 The law you gave is worth more to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
73 You made me and formed me with your own hands. Give me understanding so that I can learn your commands.
74 May those who have respect for you be filled with joy when they see me. I have put my hope in your word.
75 Lord, I know that your laws are right. You were faithful to your promise when you made me suffer.
76 May your faithful love comfort me as you have promised me.
