“Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.”
Before I was humbled, I went astray; but now I keep your word. The reversal from pre-humiliation error ('went astray') to post-humiliation obedience ('keep your word') indicates that suffering becomes a teacher. This verse portrays humiliation as a corrective experience.
