Teth


1. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word. 1. God will scold unworthy cowards, not valiant to the truth they heard.
2. Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments. 2. Me? I'm fervent, and behave; and hence, just God, do welcome me to thy glad kingdom.
3. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. 3. I was the bad town flirt: after I face burdens, I vow to keep thy way.
4. Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.  4. Ah, thy sage code! That's not outdated, so tutor me, God.
5. The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart. 5. If I watch the haughty people make up dirt on me that's warped: glory be! I will serve thee.
6. Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law. 6. Haughty "wise" liar's deals! I attain far better heights.
7. It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes. 7. As to that mighty evil bad fortune, the effect that it has: I'm in God's atelier.
8. The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver. 8. That hundreds of dollars sum total? O, it won't buy me the things of heaven.
