16 He has broken my teeth with gravel;(A)
    he has trampled me in the dust.(B)
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.”(C)

19 I remember my affliction and my wandering,
    the bitterness(D) and the gall.(E)
20 I well remember them,
    and my soul is downcast(F) within me.(G)
21 Yet this I call to mind
    and therefore I have hope:

22 Because of the Lord’s great love(H) we are not consumed,(I)
    for his compassions never fail.(J)
23 They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.(K)
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;(L)
    therefore I will wait for him.”
