19  Remember thou mine affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and the gall. 20  My soul hath them constantly in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

21  —This I recall to heart, therefore have I hope. 22  It is of Jehovah’s loving-kindness we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not; 23  they are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24  Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25  Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26  It is good that one should both wait, and that in silence, for the salvation of Jehovah. 27  It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth: 28  He sitteth solitary and keepeth silence, because he hath laid it upon him; 29  he putteth his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope; 30  he giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him; he is filled full with reproach. 31  For the Lord will not cast off for ever; 32  but if he have caused grief, he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses: 33  for he doth not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men.
