15. He has filled me with bitterness. He has sated me with wormwood.
16. He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones; he has covered me with ashes.
17. You have removed my soul far off from peace; I forgot prosperity.
18. I said, “My strength has perished, along with my expectation from Yahweh.”
19. Remember my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20. My soul still remembers them, and is bowed down within me.
21. This I recall to my mind; therefore I have hope.
22. It is because of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn’t fail.
