19. Remember my affliction and my anguish, The wormwood and the gall.
20. Your being indeed remembers And bows down upon me.
21. This I recall to my mind, therefore I wait:
22. The kindnesses of יהוה! For we have not been consumed, For His compassions have not ended.
23. They are new every morning, Great is Your trustworthiness.
24. “יהוה is my Portion,” says my being, “Therefore I wait for Him!”
25. יהוה is good to those waiting for Him, To the being who seeks Him.
26. It is good – both to wait and to be silent, For the deliverance of יהוה.
27. It is good for a man to bear a yoke in his youth.
28. Let him sit alone and be silent, Because He has laid it on him.
29. Let him put his mouth in the dust, There might yet be expectancy.
30. Let him give his cheek To the one who smites him – He is filled with reproach.
31. For יהוה does not cast off forever.
32. For though He afflicted, Yet He shall show compassion According to the greatness of His kindnesses.
