AFTER AFFLICTION

Before I was afflicted I went astray,

but now I keep your righteous word;

I used to grumble, lie, and sway.

Before I was afflicted I went astray;

I never walked your perfect way

until I bowed my head and heard.

Before I was afflicted I went astray,

but now I keep your righteous word.
