24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my God,
    and I trust him.”[a]

25 The Lord is good to those who wait for him.
    He is good to those who look for him.
26 It is good to wait quietly
    for the Lord to save them.
27 It is good for a man to wear his yoke
    from the time he is young.
28 He should sit alone and be quiet
    when the Lord puts his yoke on him.
29 He should bow down to the Lord.
    Maybe there is still hope.
30 He should turn his cheek to the one who hits him
    and let people insult him.
