Psalm 119:65-72 (Tet)

1.O Lord, thy servant, as thou said
in truth did good receive
Good judgment me, and knowledge teach,
for I thy word believe.
Ere I afflicted was I strayed;
but now I heed thy speech;
Both good thou art, and good thou do'st:
thy statutes to me teach.

2.Though many men puffed up with pride
with lies have slandered me,
Still all thy precepts thou hast giv'n
I keep wholeheartedly.
Their hearts, through worldly ease and wealth,
as fat as grease they be:
But in thy holy law I take
delight continually.

3.My strife, to learn thy statutes just,
was for a goodly cause.
That I might well instructed be,
and learn thy holy laws.
The word that cometh from thy mouth
is better unto me
Than many thousands and great sums
of gold and silver be.
