Psalms 119:69–73 · Berean Standard Bible

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

70 Their hearts are hard and callous, but I delight in Your law.

71 It was good for me to be afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes.

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

73 Your hands have made me and fashioned me; give me understanding to learn Your commandments.
