24 Deep in my heart I say,“The Lord is all I need;I can depend on him!”
25 The Lord is kind to everyonewho trusts and obeys him.
26 It is good to wait patientlyfor the Lord to save us.
27 When we are young,it is good to struggle hard
28 and to sit silently alone,if this is whatthe Lord intends.
29 Being rubbed in the earthcan teach us a lesson;
30 we can also learn from insultsand hard knocks.
