Psalm 119:67-75

67Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word.

68You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.

69Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep your precepts with all my heart.

70Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law.

71It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.

72The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold. י Yodh

73Your hands made me and formed me; give me understanding to learn your commands.

74May those who fear you rejoice when they see me, for I have put my hope in your word.

75I know, LORD, that your laws are righteous, and that in faithfulness you have afflicted me.
