Lamentations 3:19–26

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

ח Cheth

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.”

ט Teth

25 The Lord is good to those who waitt for him,

to the person who seeks him.

26 It is good to wait quietlyu

for salvation from the Lord.v
