Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;
Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.
Before I was in trouble I went out of the way; but now I keep your word.
It is good for me to have been through trouble; so that I might come to the knowledge of your rules.
The voice of the Lord is crying out to the town: Give ear, you tribes and the meeting of the town.
But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.
Keep in mind this thought, that as a son is trained by his father, so you have been trained by the Lord your God.
To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.
