hide text
The writer relied on the fact that God would deal with him according to what he had revealed (v. 65). However he felt the need for further instruction to prevent his wandering away from God's will (vv. 66-68). He would trust in God even though other people slandered Him (vv. 69-70). Affliction had taught him to appreciate God's statutes more than he had previously done (vv. 71-72).
