Lamentations 3:18-23

New International Version

¹⁸So I say, “My splendor is gone
and all that I had hoped from the Lord.”^(A)

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

²²Because of the Lord’s great love^(F) we are not consumed,^(G)
for his compassions never fail.^(H)
²³They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.^(I)

Lamentations 3:18-23

King James Version

¹⁸And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord:

¹⁹Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

²⁰My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

²¹This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

²²It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

²³They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
