24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,“therefore I will hope in Him.”
25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,to the soul who seeks Him.
26 It is good that a man should wait quietlyfor the salvation of the Lord.
27 It is good for a man to bear the yokein his youth.
28 Let him sit alone in silencewhen it is laid on him;
29 let him put his mouth in the dust—there may yet be hope.
30 Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes,and let him be filled with insults.
