69 Though the proud smeared a lie on me, with all my heart I keep Your precepts.
70 Their minds are insensible, but Your Torah is my delight.
71 It is good for me that I was afflicted, so that I may learn Your decrees.
72 The Torah from Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
73 Your hands have made me and formed me. Give me understanding that I may learn Your mitzvot.
74 Those in awe of You see me and rejoice, because I put my hope in Your word.
75 I know, Adonai, Your judgments are just. In faithfulness You have afflicted me.
