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
