It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted, so that I might learn Your Precepts.
So teach us to number our days, so that we may bring a heart of wisdom.
Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Jehovah, to teach him out of Your Law;
Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days do not come, nor the years draw near, when you shall say, I have no pleasure in them.
It is good that one should hope for the salvation of Jehovah, even in silence.
He sits alone and keeps silence because He laid it on him.
