67. Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word.
68. You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.
69. Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep your precepts with all my heart.
70. Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law.
71. It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.
72. The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
