I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right (literally, righteousness), and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me. God is faithful to His word even in afflicting His people (). His faithfulness is shown in not suffering them to be tempted above that they are able to bear, but with the temptation making a way to escape (). He afflicts them not in consuming anger, but for their salvation (; ). This is the salvation sign of repentance, that the chastised people of God are " humbled," and "accept the punishment of their iniquity" (, end).
