Do good to your servant
According to your word, O Lord

Teach me knowledge and good judgment
For I believe in your commands

Before I was afflicted I went astray
But now I obey your word

You are good, and what you do is good
Teach me your decrees

Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies
I keep your precepts with all my heart

Their hearts are callous and unfeeling
But I delight in your law

It was good for me to be afflicted
So that I might learn your decrees

The law from your mouth is more precious to me
Than thousands of pieces of silver and gold
