Lamentations 3:17-25
New International Version
17 I have been deprived of peace;
I have forgotten what prosperity is.
18 So I say, “My splendor is gone
and all that I had hoped from the Lord.”(A)
19 I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness(B) and the gall.(C)
20 I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast(D) within me.(E)
21 Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the Lord’s great love(F) we are not consumed,(G)
for his compassions never fail.(H)
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.(I)
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;(J)
therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;(K)
Lamentations 3:17-25
King James Version
17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I forgat prosperity.
18 And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord:
19 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
