It is good for me that I have been afflicted,.... The good and profit of which he had observed before; See Gill on
Psa 119:67
. The following end being also answered thereby,
that I might learn thy statutes; to understand them, and to keep them. Afflictions are sometimes as a school to the people of God, in which they learn much both of their duty and of their privileges; and when they are teaching and instructive, they are for good; see
Psa 94:12
.
