chastening

"instruction" or "correction" or "discipline"

For he wounds and then binds up; he wounds and then his hands heal

"For he wounds but binds up; he crushes but his hands heal"

his hands heal

Here "his hands" represents God. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)

He will rescue you out of six troubles; indeed, in seven troubles, no evil will touch you

The use of increasing numbers such as "six" and "seven" represents the idea of many, many times. AT: "He will rescue you out of trouble over and over again; indeed, time after time, no evil will touch you" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
