20. I continually remember themand have become depressed.
21. Yet I call this to mind,and therefore I have hope:
22. Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for His mercies never end.
23. They are new every morning;great is Your faithfulness!
24. I say: The Lord is my portion, therefore I will put my hope in Him.
25. The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,to the person who seeks Him.
26. It is good to wait quietly for deliverance from the Lord.
27. It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is still young.
28. Let him sit alone and be silent, for God has disciplined him.
29. Let him put his mouth in the dust —perhaps there is still hope.
30. Let him offer his cheekto the one who would strike him; let him be filled with shame.
31. For the Lordwill not reject us forever.
