Lamentations 3:19-26

The Voice

¹⁹ Grievous thoughts of affliction and wandering plagued my mind—
    great bitterness and gall.
²⁰ Grieving, my soul thinks back;
    these thoughts cripple, and I sink down.
²¹ Gaining hope,
    I remember and wait for this thought:

²² How enduring is God’s loyal love;
    the Eternal has inexhaustible compassion.
²³ Here they are, every morning, new!
    Your faithfulness, God, is as broad as the day.
²⁴ Have courage, for the Eternal is all that I will need.
    My soul boasts, “Hope in God; just wait.”

²⁵ It is good. The Eternal One is good to those who expect Him,
    to those who seek Him wholeheartedly.
²⁶ It is good to wait quietly
    for the Eternal to make things right again.
