14. I have become a laughing stock to all my people, their song all day long.
15. He has filled me with bitterness and made me drink wormwood.
16. He broke my teeth with gravel. He made me wallow in ashes.
17. My soul has been deprived of shalom, I have forgotten goodness.
18. So I said, “My endurance has perished, and my hope from Adonai.”
19. Remember my affliction my homelessness, bitterness and gall.
20. Whenever I remember, my soul is downcast within me.
21. This I recall to my heart— therefore I have hope:
22. Because of the mercies of Adonai we will not be consumed, for His compassions never fail.
23. They are new every morning! Great is Your faithfulness.
24. “Adonai is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.”
25. Adonai is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul that seeks Him.
