20 My soul continually remembers it
    (A)and is bowed down within me.
21 But this I call to mind,
    and (B)therefore I have hope:

22 (C)The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]
    (D)his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new (E)every morning;
    (F)great is your faithfulness.
24 (G)“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
    (H)“therefore I will hope in him.”

25 The Lord is good to those who (I)wait for him,
    to the soul who seeks him.
26 (J)It is good that one should wait quietly
    for the salvation of the Lord.
