69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,I keep your precepts with all my heart.
70 Their hearts are callous and unfeeling,but I delight in your law.
71 It was good for me to be afflictedso that I might learn your decrees.
72 The law from your mouth is more precious to methan thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
73 Your hands made me and formed me;give me understanding to learn your commands.
74 May those who fear you rejoice when they see me,for I have put my hope in your word.
75 I know, Lord, that your laws are righteous,and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
