Lamentations 3:18–24

18 Then I thought, “My futureE is lost,

as well as my hope from the Lord.”

ז Zayin

19 RememberF my affliction and my homelessness,m

the wormwood and the poison.n

20 I continually remember them

and have become depressed.G,o

21 Yet I call this to mind,

and therefore I have hope:p

22 Because of the Lord’s faithful loveq

we do not perish,H

for his mercies never end.

23 They are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness!r

24 I say, “The Lord is my portion,s

therefore I will put my hope in him.”
