21But this I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
22The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,j
his mercies never come to an end;*
23they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.*
24“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”*
25The Lord is good to those who wait for him,
to the soul that seeks him.*
26It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.*
