 65  Well hast thou with thy servant dealt,
        as thou didst promise give.
 66  Good judgment me, and knowledge teach,
        for I thy word believe.
 67  Ere I afflicted was I strayed;
        but now I keep thy word.
 68  Both good thou art, and good thou do'st:
        teach me thy statutes, Lord.
 69  The men that are puffed up with pride
        against me forged a lie;
     Yet thy commandements observe
       with my whole heart will I.
 70  Their hearts, through worldly ease and wealth,
        as fat as grease they be:
     But in thy holy law I take
        delight continually.
 71  It hath been very good for me
        that I afflicted was,
     That I might well instructed be,
        and learn thy holy laws.
 72  The word that cometh from thy mouth
        is better unto me
     Than many thousands and great sums
        of gold and silver be.
