Psalms 119:70 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 119:70

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.

73 ^aYour hands have made me and fashioned me;
Give me understanding, that I may learn Your commandments.

74 ^aThose who fear You will be glad when they see me,
Because I have hoped in Your word.
