22 The loyal love of Yahweh does not cease;

his compassions do not come to an end.

23 They are new in the morning,

great is your faithfulness.

24 “Yahweh is my portion,”

says my soul,

“Thus I will hope on him.”

25 Yahweh is good to those who wait on him,

to the person that seeks him.

26 It is good to wait in silence

for the salvation of Yahweh.

27 It is good for a man who carries

the yoke of his childhood.

28 Let him sit alone and be silent

when hee has laid it on him.

29 Let ⌊him put⌋f his mouth in the dust;

perhaps there is hope.

30 Let him give a cheek to his smiter,

let him be filled with disgrace.

31 For the Lord will not reject

forever.

32 For even though he causes grief he has compassion

according to the greatness of his loyal love.

33 He does not ⌊afflict willingly⌋,g

or grieve ⌊anyone⌋.h

34 To crush under his feet

all the prisoners of the earth;

35 ⌊to deprive one of justice⌋i

before the face of the Most High;

36 to subvert a person in a legal dispute

—the Lord has not found delight in these things.

37 ⌊Who can speak⌋j and it will happen

if the Lord has not commanded it?

38 Is it not from the mouth of the Most High

that disaster and good will come?

39 Why should any living person complain

about his sin?

40 Let us test and examine our ways;

let us return to Yahweh.

41 Let us lift up our hearts with our hands

to God in the heavens.

42 We ourselves have transgressed and rebelled,

you have not forgiven.
