18. I said, ‘I’ve lost my strength ⌊to live⌋ and my hope in the Lord.’
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.
