4 The Lord God has given rme
the tongue of those who are taught,
that sI may know how to sustain with a word
thim who is weary.
Morning by morning he awakens;
to hear as those who are taught.

vand I was not rebellious;
6 wI gave my back to those who strike,
and my cheeks to those who pull out the beard;
therefore I have not been disgraced;
xtherefore I have set my face like a flint,
