Psalm 119:65-72 Part 1

                    TETH 
You have done many good things for me, LORD,
    just as you promised.
I believe in your commands;
    now teach me good judgment and knowledge.
I used to wander off until you disciplined me;
    but now I closely follow your word.
You are good and only do good;
    teach me your decrees.
Arrogant people smear me with lies,
    but in truth I obey your commandments with all my heart.
Their hearts are dull and stupid,
    but I delight in your instructions.
My suffering was good for me,
    for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.
Your instructions are more valuable to me
    than millions in gold and silver. 
 
You have done many good things for me, LORD, just as you promised.
Psalm 119:9  
How can a young person stay pure?
    By obeying your word.  (see Psalm 119:9-16)
Psalm 119:17  
Be good to your servant,
    that I may live and obey your word.  (see Psalm 119:17-24)
Psalm 125:4  
O LORD, do good to those who are good,
    whose hearts are in tune with you.  (see all Psalm 125)
Isaiah 50:7  
Because the Sovereign LORD helps me,
    I will not be disgraced.
Therefore, I have set my face like a stone,
    determined to do his will.
    And I know that I will not be put to shame.  (see all Isaiah 50)
Isaiah 59:1  
Listen! The LORD's arm is not too weak to save you,
    nor his ear too deaf to hear you call.  (see all Isaiah 59)
Micah 2:6-7  
"Don't say such things,"
    the people respond.
"Don't prophesy like that.
    Such disasters will never come our way!"
Should you talk that way, O family of Israel?
    Will the LORD's Spirit have patience with such behavior?
If you would do what is right,
    you would find my words comforting.  (see all Micah 2)
