Lamentations 3:20-29 World English Bible (WEB)

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.

23. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

24. “Yahweh is my portion,” says my soul. “Therefore I will hope in him.”

25. Yahweh is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

26. It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Yahweh.

27. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

28. Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he has laid it on him.

29. Let him put his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope.
