Of Support in Affliction
Scripture
KJV
Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
ESV
If your law had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction.
Psalm 119:92
Poem
God of my life, how good, how wise
Thy judgements to my soul have been!
They were but blessings in disguise,
The painful remedies of sin.
How different now thy ways appear,
Most merciful, when most severe!
