24
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
25
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
26
it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
27
It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.
28
Let him sit alone in silence,
for the Lord has laid it on him.
29
Let him bury his face in the dust—
there may yet be hope.
