19 Remember my affliction and my wanderings,

the wormwood and the gall!

20 My soul continually remembers it

and is bowed down within me.

21 But this I call to mind,

and therefore I have hope:

22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;

his mercies never come to an end;

23 they are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,

“therefore I will hope in him.”

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

to the soul who seeks him.

26 It is good that one should wait quietly

for the salvation of the Lord.

19 Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.

20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.

21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.

22 It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

24 The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.

25 The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.

19 The thought of my suffering and homelessness

is bitter beyond words.

20 I will never forget this awful time,

as I grieve over my loss.

21 Yet I still dare to hope

when I remember this:

22 The faithful love of the Lord never ends!

His mercies never cease.

23 Great is his faithfulness;

his mercies begin afresh each morning.

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

therefore, I will hope in him!”

25 The Lord is good to those who depend on him,

to those who search for him.

26 So it is good to wait quietly

for salvation from the Lord.

19 Remember my affliction and roaming,

The wormwood and the gall.

20 My soul still remembers

And sinks within me.

21 This I recall to my mind,

Therefore I have hope.

22 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,

Because His compassions fail not.

23 They are new every morning;

Great is Your faithfulness.

24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,

“Therefore I hope in Him!”

25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,

To the soul who seeks Him.

26 It is good that one should hope and wait quietly

For the salvation of the Lord.

19 Lord, remember my suffering and my misery,

my sorrow and trouble.

20 Please remember me

and think about me.

21 But I have hope

when I think of this:

22 The Lord’s love never ends;

his mercies never stop.

23 They are new every morning;

Lord, your loyalty is great.

24 I say to myself, “The Lord is mine,

so I hope in him.”

25 The Lord is good to those who hope in him,

to those who seek him.

26 It is good to wait quietly

for the Lord to save.

19 Remember mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. 20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is bowed down within me. 21 This I recall to my mind; therefore have I hope. 22 It is of Jehovah’s lovingkindnesses that 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 a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Jehovah.

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.

19 Remember my suffering and my ⸤aimless⸥ wandering, 

the wormwood and poison. 

20 My soul continues to remember ⸤these things⸥ and is so discouraged. 

21 “The reason I can ⸤still⸥ find hope is that I keep this one thing in mind: 

22 the Lord’s mercy. 

We were not completely wiped out. 

His compassion is never limited. 

23 It is new every morning. 

His faithfulness is great. 

24 My soul can say, ‘The Lord is my lot ⸤in life⸥. 

That is why I find hope in him.’ 

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

to anyone who seeks help from him. 

26 “It is good to continue to hope and wait silently 

for the Lord to save us. 

19 Remember my affliction and my homelessness,

the wormwood and the poison.

20 I continually remember them

and have become depressed.

21 Yet I call this to mind,

and therefore I have hope:

22 Because of the Lord’s faithful love

we do not perish,

for His mercies never end.

23 They are new every morning;

great is Your faithfulness!

24 I say: The Lord is my portion,

therefore I will put my hope in Him.

25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,

to the person who seeks Him.

26 It is good to wait quietly

for deliverance from the Lord.

19 The thought of my affliction and my homelessness

is wormwood and gall!

20 My soul continually thinks of it

and is bowed down within me.

21 But this I call to mind,

and therefore I have hope:

22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,

his mercies never come to an end;

23 they are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

“therefore I will hope in him.”

to the soul that seeks him.

26 It is good that one should wait quietly

for the salvation of the Lord.

19 Remember my misery and bitterness,

the wormwood and venom!

20 Surely my soul remembers

and bows down within me.

21 This I have reminded myself,

therefore I will hope.

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.

19 I remember how I suffered and wandered.

I remember how bitter my life was.

20 I remember it very well.

My spirit is very sad deep down inside me.

21 But here is something else I remember.

And it gives me hope.

22 The Lord loves us very much.

So we haven’t been completely destroyed.

His loving concern never fails.

23 His great love is new every morning.

Lord, how faithful you are!

24 I say to myself, “The Lord is everything I will ever need.

So I will put my hope in him.”

25 The Lord is good to those who put their hope in him.

He is good to those who look to him.

26 It is good when people wait quietly

for the Lord to save them.

19 Remember my affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and bitterness.

20 Surely my soul remembers

And is bowed down within me.

21 This I recall to my mind,

Therefore I have hope.

22 The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,

For His compassions never fail.

23 They are new every morning;

Great is Your faithfulness.

24 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,

“Therefore I have hope in Him.”

25 The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,

To the person who seeks Him.

26 It is good that he waits silently

For the salvation of the Lord.
