“It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.”
It is good for me that I have been humbled, so that I might learn your statutes. The reflection that humiliation was beneficial ('good for me') because it led to law-learning ('might learn your statutes') reframes suffering positively. This verse interprets suffering as pedagogical.
