Lamentations 3:21-29
New American Standard Bible
21 I recall this to my mind,
Therefore I [a](A)wait.

(C)For His compassions do not fail.
23 They are new (D)every morning;
Great is (E)Your faithfulness.
24 “The Lord is my (F)portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I [c](G)wait for Him.”
25 The Lord is good to those who [d](H)await Him,
To the [e]person who (I)seeks Him.
26 It is good that he (J)waits silently
For the salvation of the Lord.
27 It is good for a man to bear
The yoke in his youth.
28 Let him (K)sit alone and keep quiet,
Since He has laid it on him.
29 Let him [f]put his mouth in the (L)dust;
Perhaps there is (M)hope.
