Psalms 94:12

Psalms 94:12. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

Here is the truly blessed man; not the boaster, not the infidel, not the proud thinker, but the divinely-chastened man. He is sore through the chastening of the Lord, his bones are full of pain, his heart is heavy, and his home, perhaps, as a place of torture to him; but still it is true that he is a blessed man: "Blessed is the man whom thou chasteness, O Lord, and teachest him out of thy law."
