Remember my affliction and my misery,\n the wormwood and the gall.\n20Surely my soul remembers\n and is humbled within me.\n21But this I call to mind,\n and therefore I have hope:\n22 It is of the LORD\u2019s mercies that we are not\nconsumed;\n His compassions do not fail.\n23They are new every morning;\n great is Your faithfulness.\n24 \u201cThe LORD is my portion,\u201d says my soul,\n \u201ctherefore I will hope in Him.\u201d\n25The LORD is good to those who wait for Him,\n to the soul who seeks Him.\n26 It is good that a man should wait quietly\n for the salvation of the LORD.\n27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke\n in his youth.\n28Let him sit alone in silence\n when it is laid on him;\n29 let him put his mouth in the dust\u2014\n there may yet be hope.
