16. He has also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he has covered me with ashes.
17. And you have removed my soul far off from peace: I forgot prosperity.
18. And I said, My strength and my hope has perished from the LORD:
19. Remembering my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
20. My soul has them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21. This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
22. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
23. They are new every morning: great is your faithfulness.
