Lamentations 3:17-23
New American Standard Bible

17 My soul has been excluded (A)from peace;
I have forgotten [a]happiness.
18 So I say, “My [b]strength has failed,
And so has my (B)hope from the Lord.”

Hope of Relief in God’s Mercy

19 Remember my misery and my homelessness, the (C)wormwood and [c]bitterness.
20 (D)My soul certainly remembers,
And [d]is (E)bent over within me.
21 I recall this to my mind,
Therefore I [e](F)wait.
22 [f]The Lord’s (G)acts of mercy indeed do not end,
(H)For His compassions do not fail.
23 They are new (I)every morning;
Great is (J)Your faithfulness.

Lamentations 3:17-23
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)
