26 So it is best for us to wait in patience — to wait for him to save us —
27 And it is best to learn this patience in our youth.
28 When we suffer, we should sit alone in silent patience;
29 We should bow in submission, for there may still be hope.
30 Though beaten and insulted, we should accept it all.
31 The Lord is merciful and will not reject us for ever.
32 He may bring us sorrow, but his love for us is sure and strong.
