Appreciating Affliction – How suffering humbles us
119:65 Do good to your servant according to your word, O Lord .
119:66 Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I believe in your commands.
119:67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word.
119:68 You are good, and what you do is good; teach me your decrees.
119:69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep your precepts with all my heart.
119:70 Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law.
119:71 It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.
119:72 The law from your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.
