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.
