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.
My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees.

I used to wander off until you disciplined me;
but now I closely follow your word.
Psalm 119:75
I know, O LORD, that your regulations are fair;
you disciplined me because I needed it. (see Psalm 119:73-80)
Your instructions are more valuable to me than millions in gold and silver.

"Choose my instruction rather than silver
and knowledge rather than pure gold.
For wisdom is far more valuable than rubies.
Nothing you desire can compare with it."

"My gifts are better than gold, even the purest gold,
my wages better than sterling silver!" (see all Proverbs 8)

"God alone understands the way to wisdom;
he knows where it can be found,
for he looks throughout the whole earth
and sees everything under the heavens."

"And this is what he says to all humanity:
'The fear of the Lord is true wisdom;
to forsake evil is real understanding.' " (see all Job 28)
