4 Accept whatever happens to you;in periods of humiliation be patient.
5 For in fire gold is tested,and the chosen, in the crucible of humiliation.
6 Trust in God, and he will help you;make your ways straight and hope in him.
7 You that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy,do not stray lest you fall.
8 You that fear the Lord, trust in him,and your reward will not be lost.
9 You that fear the Lord, hope for good things,for lasting joy and mercy.
10 Consider the generations long past and see:has anyone trusted in the Lord and been disappointed?Has anyone persevered in his fear and been forsaken?has anyone called upon him and been ignored?
