Psalms 119:67

Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

Before I was afflicted I went astray; but now have I kept thy word. The affliction of Israel in her captivity (Psalms 116:10) produced a salutary effect upon her (Psalms 119:71; Psalms 119:75; Jeremiah 31:18-19; Hebrews 12:11).
