Psalms 119:65-119:80

Affliction Brings Growth

  1. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.
  2. Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
  3. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
  4. Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
  5. The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
  6. Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
  7. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
  8. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.
  9. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.
  10. They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.
  11. I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.
  12. Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.
  13. Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.
  14. Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
  15. Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.
  16. Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.
