Lamentations 3:21-36

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

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

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

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

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

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

27It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

28Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he hath laid it upon him.

29Let him put his mouth in the dust; if so be there may he hope.

30Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him; let him be filled full with reproach.

31For the Lord will not cast off for ever.

32For though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

33For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.

34To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,

35To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,

36To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
