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.
31 The Lord won't always reject us!
32 He causes a lot of suffering,but he also has pitybecause of his great love.
