PSALM 119 (9) 8 8 8 8 anapaestic

65 Do good to your servant, O LORD;
Be true to the word I received.
66 Teach knowledge and judgment to me,
Because your commands I’ve believed.

67 Before my affliction I strayed,
But now I will hold to your word.
68 You are good and you do what is good;
Teach me your commandments, O LORD.

69 Although the proud smear me with lies,
I keep your decrees from the heart.
70 Their hearts are unfeeling and hard;
I love what your precepts impart.

71 It was good that I suffered distress,
So that I might learn your commands.
72 Your law is more precious to me
Than silver and gold in my hands.
