Lamentations 3:17–26 New Living Translation
17 Peace has been stripped away,and I have forgotten what prosperity is.18 I cry out, “My splendor is gone!Everything I had hoped for from the Lord is lost!”19 The thought of my suffering and homelessnessis bitter beyond words.*20 I will never forget this awful time,as I grieve over my loss.21 Yet I still dare to hopewhen 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 quietlyfor salvation from the Lord.
