Psalm
119:65-72 Thursday Midday 2
Do good to your servant,
Yahweh, * according to your word.
Teach me good judgment and
knowledge, * because I believe in your commandments.
Before I had answered I went
astray, * but now I keep your word.
You are good and the cause of
good; * teach me your statutes.
The presumptuous besmear me
with lies, * but I with all my heart observe your precepts.
Gross as lard is their heart,
* but I take delight in your law.
It was good for me to have
suffered, * that I might learn your statutes.
More precious to me is the
law from your mouth * than thousands of gold and silver coins.
