Blessed is the man whom You discipline, O Lord, and teach from Your law,
“Behold, blessed is the man whom God corrects! Therefore do not despise the discipline of the Almighty,
But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord, so that we would not be condemned with the world.
“Those whom I love, I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be zealous and repent.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes.
Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Your word.
You must also consider in your heart that, as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.
The voice of the Lord calls to the city— and wisdom will fear Your name: Heed the rod and Him who has appointed it.
