more precious

ט
(Teth - Psalm 119:65-72)
Do good to Your servant
according to Your Word, O LORD.
teach me knowledge and good judgment,
for i believe in Your Commands.
Before i was afflicted I went astray,
but now i obey Your Word.
You are good, and what You do is good;
teach me Your Decrees.
Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies,
i keep Your Precepts with all my heart.
Their hearts are callous and unfeeling,
but i delight in Your Law.
It was good for me to be afflicted
so that i might learn Your decrees.
The Law from Your mouth is more precious to me
than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
