69The proud haue forged a lie against me: but I will keepe thy precepts with my whole heart. 70Their heart is as fat as grease: but I delight in thy law. 71It is good for me that I haue bene afflicted: that I might learne thy statutes. 72The law of thy mouth is better vnto me: then thousands of gold and siluer. 73[IOD.] Thy hands haue made me and fashioned me: giue me vnderstanding, that I may learne thy commandements.
