It is good for a man to bear a yoke in his youth.
It was good for me that I was afflicted, That I might learn Your laws.
Teach us to number our days, And let us bring the heart to wisdom.
Blessed is the man You discipline, O Yah, And instruct out of Your Torah,
Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw near when you say, “I have no pleasure in them”:
It is good – both to wait and to be silent, For the deliverance of יהוה.
Let him sit alone and be silent, Because He has laid it on him.
