65You have done good with your servant, O LORD, according to your word.66Teach me goodness of taste and knowledge, for I have been faithful in your commandments.67Before I was afflicted, I went astray, but now I have kept your word.68You are pleasant and pleasing; teach me your statutes.69The arrogant have smeared deception upon me, yet with all my heart I watch your precepts.70Their heart has become insensitive like fat, but I have delighted in your instruction.71It is pleasant for me that I was afflicted, because I learn your statutes.72Your instruction from your lip is more pleasant to me than thousands of gold and silver.
