Psalms 119:71-78 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

71. It was good for me to be afflicted,in order to learn your statutes.

72. The law of your mouth is more precious to methan heaps of silver and gold.

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

74. Those who fear you rejoice to see me,because I hope in your word.

75. I know, Lord, that your judgments are righteous;though you afflict me, you are faithful.

76. May your mercy comfort mein accord with your promise to your servant.

77. Show me compassion that I may live,for your law is my delight.

78. Shame the proud for leading me astray with falsehood,that I may study your testimonies.
