I am sick all day, and I am punished each morning.
You never stop accusing me; you become furious and attack over and over again.
Why do you take such delight in destroying those you created and in smiling on sinners?
Why do you test us from sunrise to sunset?
The LORD's people may suffer a lot, but he will always bring them safely through.
Our LORD, you bless everyone whom you instruct and teach by using your Law.
I am badly injured and in constant pain. Are you going to disappoint me, like a stream that goes dry in the heat of summer?
Of all nations on earth, you are the only one I have chosen. That's why I will punish you because of your sins.
But you have forgotten that the Scriptures say to God's children, “When the Lord punishes you, don't make light of it, and when he corrects you, don't be discouraged.
On that day you will be glad, even if you have to go through many hard trials for a while.
