Lamentations 3:19-25
English Standard Version
19 (A)Remember my affliction and my wanderings,
(B)the wormwood and (C)the gall!
20 My soul continually remembers it
(D)and is bowed down within me.
21 But this I call to mind,
and (E)therefore I have hope:
22 (F)The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]
(G)his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new (H)every morning;
(I)great is your faithfulness.
24 (J)“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
(K)“therefore I will hope in him.”
25 The Lord is good to those who (L)wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
