Revised Version 1885
24The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
26It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.
27It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
28Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he hath laid it upon him.
29Let him put his mouth in the dust; if so be there may he hope.
30Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him; let him be filled full with reproach.
