Psalms 119:69

God's wordIntegrityPride

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.

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.

71 It was good for me to be afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes.
