It hath been very good for me that I afflicted was, That I might well instructed be, and learn thy holy laws.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I might learn thy statutes.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted, that I might learn Your statutes.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; That I may learn thy statutes.
My suffering was good for me, because through it I learned your statutes.
Ere I afflicted was I stray'd; but now I keep thy word.
