Psalms 119:69

Compare all

67 Before I was ^aafflicted I went astray,
But now I keep Your word.

68 You are ^agood, and do good;
Teach me Your statutes.

69 The proud have ^aforged a lie against me,
But I will keep Your precepts with my whole heart.

70 ^aTheir heart is¹ as fat as grease,
But I delight in Your law.

71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
That I may learn Your statutes.

72 ^aThe law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

Psalm 119:69

Why lies? For two reasons: The first is to better obtain whatever he covets, and the second is to uphold and protect his image and then to build it up to what he imagines it should be.
