Lamentations 3:22-33
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,[a]
his mercies never come to an end;(A)
23 they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.(B)
24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”(C)
25 The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul that seeks him.(D)
26 It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.(E)
27 It is good for one to bear
the yoke in youth,(F)
28 to sit alone in silence
when the Lord[b] has imposed it,(G)
29 to put one’s mouth to the dust
(there may yet be hope),
30 to give one’s cheek to the smiter
and be filled with insults.(H)
31 For the Lord will not
reject forever.(I)
32 Although he causes grief, he will have compassion
according to the abundance of his steadfast love;(J)
33 for he does not willingly afflict
or grieve anyone.(K)
