25 The Lord is good to those who put their hope in him. He is good to those who look to him.
26 It is good when people wait quietly for the Lord to save them.
27 It is good for a man to carry a heavy load of suffering while he is young.
28 Let him sit alone and not say anything. The Lord has placed that load on him.
29 Let him bury his face in the dust. There might still be hope for him.
30 Let him turn his cheek toward those who would slap him. Let him be filled with shame.
31 The Lord doesn't turn his back on people forever.
