O Lord, blessed is the person whom you discipline and instruct from your teachings.
“Blessed is the person whom God corrects. That person should not despise discipline from the Almighty.

It was good that I had to suffer in order to learn your laws.
The voice of the Lord calls out to the city. (The fear of your name is wisdom.) “Listen, you tribe assembled in the city.
But when the Lord judges us, he disciplines us so that we won’t be condemned along with the rest of the world.
Learn this lesson by heart: The Lord your God was disciplining you as parents discipline their children.
I correct and discipline everyone I love. Take this seriously, and change the way you think and act.
