Psalms 119:68
66 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.
You are good, and You do what is good; teach me Your statutes.
69 Though the arrogant have smeared me with lies, I keep Your precepts with all my heart.
70 Their hearts are hard and callous, but I delight in Your law.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
