v.65. You have dealt well with Your servant, O Lord, according to Your word. v.66. Teach me good discernment and knowledge, for I believe in Your commandments. v.67. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word. v.68. You are good and do good; teach me Your statutes. v.69. The arrogant have forged a lie against me; with all my heart I will observe Your precepts. v.70. Their heart is covered with fat, but I delight in Your law. v.71. It is good for me that I was afflicted, that I may learn Your statutes. v.72. The law of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces. (NAS version)
How does God deal with His servants? (v.65) What does God teach us from His word? (v.66) Affliction and arrogance can bring harm but what does God say about keeping His word? (v.67-72) God always is good and does good to His servant. May we delight in His law!
