It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I may learn your statutes.
So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Blessed is the man whom you discipline, the LORD, and teach out of your law;
Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw near, when you will say, *I have no pleasure in them;*
It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.
