20Zain. I will be mindful and remember, and my soul shall languish within me.

21Zain. These things I shall think over in my heart, therefore will I hope.

22Heth. The mercies of the Lord that we are not consumed: because his commiserations have not failed.

23Heth. They are new every morning, great is thy faithfulness.

24Heth. The Lord is my portion, said my soul: therefore will I wait for him.

25Teth. The Lord is good to them that hope in him, to the soul that seeketh him.

26Teth. It is good to wait with silence for the salvation of God.

his mercies never come to an end;

they are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

“therefore I will hope in him.”

for the salvation of the Lord.

They are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;

therefore I will wait for him.”

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,

to the one who seeks him;

it is good to wait quietly

for the salvation of the Lord.

I will never forget this awful time,

as I grieve over my loss.

Yet I still dare to hope

when I remember this:

The faithful love of the Lord never ends!

His mercies never cease.

Great is his faithfulness;

his mercies begin afresh each morning.

I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance;

therefore, I will hope in him!”

to those who search for him.

So it is good to wait quietly

for salvation from the Lord.
