69 The proud and wicked men have forged Against me many a lye, But I with my whole heart will keep Thy Precepts constantly.
69 The proud and wicked men have forg'd Against me many a lye, But I with my whole heart will keep Thy Precepts constantly.
70 Their hearts are fat with pride and wealth; They live in mirth and ease, But in thy Law do I delight, And thee my God to please.
71 It proved very good for me, That thou didst me correct, To understand and keep thy Law Thy rod did me direct:
72 The good word of thy mouth to me Is better manifold. Then Worldlings wealth and thousands be Of Silver and of Gold.
