For all

Many are the afflictions of the righteous,

But the Lord

delivers him out of them all.

Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Lord,
And whom You teach out of Your law;

So am I allotted months of vanity,
And nights of trouble are appointed me.

‘Is it right for You indeed to oppress,
To reject the labor of Your hands,
And to look favorably on the schemes of the wicked?

Why has my pain been perpetual
And my wound incurable, refusing to be healed?
Will You indeed be to me like a deceptive stream
With water that is unreliable?

“You only have I chosen among all the families of the earth;
Therefore I will

punish you for all your iniquities.”

and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
Nor

faint when you are reproved by Him;

In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials,

General references

Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity,
And walks with wicked men?

When my anxious thoughts multiply within me,
Your consolations delight my soul.

But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.
