Lamentations 3:19-26

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁹ The thought of my affliction and my homelessness
    is wormwood and gall!^(A)
20 My soul continually thinks of it
    and is bowed down within me.^(B)
21 But this I call to mind,
    and therefore I have hope:

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

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