25 The Lord is good to those who hope in him,to those who seek him.
26 It is good to wait quietlyfor the Lord to save.
27 It is good for someone to work hardwhile he is young.
28 He should sit alone and be quiet;the Lord has given him hard work to do.
29 He should bow down to the ground;maybe there is still hope.
30 He should let anyone slap his cheek;he should be filled with shame.
31 The Lord will not rejecthis people forever.
