Psalms 119:66
64 The earth is filled with Your loving devotion, O LORD; teach me Your statutes.
65 You are good to Your servant, O LORD, according to Your word.
Teach me good judgment and knowledge, for I believe in Your commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted, I went astray; but now I keep Your word.
68 You are good, and You do what is good; teach me Your statutes.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
