24. I say to myself, “The Lord is what I have left.So I have hope.”
25. The Lord is good to those who put their hope in him.He is good to those who look to him for help.
26. It is good to wait quietlyfor the Lord to save.
27. It is good for a man to work hardwhile he is young.
28. He should sit alone and be quietbecause the Lord has given him hard work to do.
29. He should bow to the Lord with his face to the ground.Maybe there is still hope.
30. He should offer his cheek if someone wants to hit him.He should be filled with shame.
31. The Lord will not rejecthis people forever.
32. Although the Lord brings sorrow, he also has mercy.His love is great.
