Psalm 119:75

Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Your word.

It is good for me that I was afflicted, That I may learn Your statutes.

“O Lord, by these things men live, And in all these is the life of my spirit; O restore me to health and let me live!

“Yahweh is righteous; For I have rebelled against His command; Hear now, all peoples, And behold my pain; My virgins and my young men Have gone into captivity.

For He does not afflict from His heart Or grieve the sons of men.

For those whom the Lord loves He disciplines, And He flogs every son whom He receives.”
