17 Happy is the person whom God corrects!Do not resent it when he rebukes you.
18 God bandages the wounds he makes;his hand hurts you, and his hand heals.
19 Time after time he will save you from harm;
20 when famine comes, he will keep you alive,and in war protect you from death.
21 God will rescue you from slander;he will save you when destruction comes.
22 You will laugh at violence and hungerand not be afraid of wild animals.
23 The fields you plough will be free of rocks;wild animals will never attack you.
