21 This I recall to my mind,

Therefore I have phope.

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

Because His compassions rfail not.

23 They are new severy morning;

Great is Your faithfulness.

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

“Therefore I uhope in Him!”

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

To the soul who seeks Him.

26 It is good that one should whope xand wait quietly

For the salvation of the Lord.

27 yIt is good for a man to bear

The yoke in his youth.

28 zLet him sit alone and keep silent,

Because God has laid it on him;

29 aLet him put his mouth in the dust—

There may yet be hope.

30 bLet him give his cheek to the one who strikes him,

And be full of reproach.

31 cFor the Lord will not cast off forever.

32 Though He causes grief,

Yet He will show compassion

According to the multitude of His mercies.

33 For dHe does not afflict 9willingly,

Nor grieve the children of men.
