It is good for a man to bear the yoke in his youth.
It is good for me that I was afflicted, so that I may learn Your decrees.
So teach us to number our days, so that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Blessed is the one You discipline, Adonai, and teach him from Your Torah,
So remember your Creator in the days of your youth: before the days of misery come, and years draw near when you will say: “I have no pleasure in them”—
It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of Adonai.
Let him sit alone and be silent, since He has laid it upon him.
