Psalm 118:18

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.

For you, God, tested us, to purify us like fine silver.

How blessed is the man whom you instruct, LORD, whom you teach from your Law,

""Therefore the sword will never leave your household, because you have despised me by taking the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.'

"Indeed, how blessed is the person whom God reproves! So never disrespect the discipline of the Almighty,

That's when he opens the ear of mankind, authenticating his messages to them,

My son, do not reject the LORD's discipline, and do not despise his correction,

I sank to the roots of the mountains; the earth's prison bars closed around me forever. Yet you resurrect the dead from the Pit, LORD my God!

Now, while we are being judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so we won't be condemned along with the world.

In fact, we felt that we had received a death sentence so we would not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.

as unknown and yet well-known, as dying and yet as you see very much alive, as punished and yet not killed,

For a short time they disciplined us as they thought best, but God does it for our good, so that we may share in his holiness.

But we will bless the LORD from now to eternity. Hallelujah!

But one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, came back and praised God with a loud voice.
