20 (A)My soul certainly remembers,
And [a]is (B)bent over within me.
21 I recall this to my mind,
Therefore I [b](C)wait.
22 [c]The Lords (D)acts of mercy indeed do not end,
(E)For His compassions do not fail.
23 They are new (F)every morning;
Great is (G)Your faithfulness.
24 “The Lord is my (H)portion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I [d](I)wait for Him.”
25 The Lord is good to those who [e](J)await Him,
To the [f]person who (K)seeks Him.
