Praise the Lord with the harp;
Make melody to Him with an instrument of ten strings.
Sing to Him a new song;
Play skillfully with a shout of joy.

For the word of the Lord is right,
And all His work is done in truth.
He loves righteousness and justice;
The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord. Psalm 33:2-5

Where do righteousness and justice come from ultimately?

When I refused to confess my sin,
    my body wasted away,
    and I groaned all day long.
Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me.
    My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude Psalm 32:3,4

The discipline of the Lord here seems like a harsh thing. but in other places in the Bible we are encouraged to see such discipline as a boon. How is the Lord’s discipline a good thing?
