Lord, how happy are those you instruct, the ones to whom you teach your law!
Happy is the person whom God corrects! Do not resent it when he rebukes you.
Before you punished me, I used to go wrong, but now I obey your word.
My punishment was good for me, because it made me learn your commands.
It is wise to fear the Lord. He calls to the city, “Listen, you people who assemble in the city!
But we are judged and punished by the Lord, so that we shall not be condemned together with the world.
Remember that the Lord your God corrects and punishes you just as parents discipline their children.
I rebuke and punish all whom I love. Be in earnest, then, and turn from your sins.
