Blessedis the manwhomYou chasten,O LORD,And whom You teachout of Your law;
"Behold,how happyis the manwhom Godreproves,So do not despisethe disciplineof the Almighty.
But when we are judged,we are disciplinedby the Lordsothat we will not be condemnedalongwith the world.
Those whomI love,I reproveand discipline;thereforebe zealousand repent.
It is goodfor me that I was afflicted,That I may learnYour statutes.
BeforeI was afflictedI wentastray,But nowI keepYour word.
"Thus you are to knowin your heartthat the LORDyour Godwas discipliningyou justas a mandisciplineshis son.
The voiceof the LORDwill callto the city--And it is soundwisdomto fearYour name:"Hear,O tribe.Whohas appointedits time?
