School Of Hard Knocks

65 Do good to your servant according to Your word, O LORD.

66 Teach me knowledge and good judgment, for I believe in your commands.

67 Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey Your word.

68 You are good, and what You do is good; teach me Your decrees.

69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep Your precepts with all my heart.

70 Their hearts are callous and unfeeling, but I delight in your law.

71 It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn Your decrees.

72 The law from Your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and gold.

-Psalm 119:65-72
