Psalm119 Tet: Suffering and repentance

 In Psalm 119, we read:

67 Before you made me suffer, I used to wander off,

    but now I hold on to your word.


The psalmist was following his ways and the Lord made him suffer. In his suffering, he decided to hold to the word of the Lord.

Despite suffering, he saw how the Lord is good:


71 It was good that I had to suffer

    in order to learn your laws.


He understood how precious is the Word:


72 The teachings that come from your mouth are worth more to me

    than thousands in gold or silver.
