Lamentations 3:19-26

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ I remember how I suffered and wandered.
    I remember how bitter my life was.
²⁰ I remember it very well.
    My spirit is very sad deep down inside me.
²¹ But here is something else I remember.
    And it gives me hope.

²² The Lord loves us very much.
    So we haven’t been completely destroyed.
    His loving concern never fails.
²³ His great love is new every morning.
    Lord, how faithful you are!
²⁴ I say to myself, “The Lord is everything I will ever need.
    So I will put my hope in him.”

²⁵ The Lord is good to those who put their hope in him.
    He is good to those who look to him.
²⁶ It is good when people wait quietly
    for the Lord to save them.
