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
