I’m plagued ⌞with problems⌟ all day long, and every morning my punishment ⌞begins again⌟.
You keep finding new witnesses against me. You keep increasing your anger toward me. You keep bringing new armies against me.
What do you gain by mistreating me, by rejecting the work of your hands while you favor the plans of the wicked?
⌞What is he⌟ that you should inspect him every morning and examine him every moment?
The righteous person has many troubles, but the Lord rescues him from all of them.
O Lord, blessed is the person whom you discipline and instruct from your teachings.
Why is my pain unending and my wound incurable, refusing to heal? Will you disappoint me like a stream that dries up in summertime?
Out of all the families on earth, I have known no one else but you. That is why I am going to punish you for all your sins.
You have forgotten the encouraging words that God speaks to you as his children: “My child, pay attention when the Lord disciplines you. Don’t give up when he corrects you.
You are extremely happy about these things, even though you have to suffer different kinds of trouble for a little while now.
