14. I was a joke to all my people,who make fun of me with songs all day long.
15. The Lord filled me with misery;he made me drunk with suffering.
16. He broke my teeth with graveland trampled me into the dirt.
17. I have no more peace.I have forgotten what happiness is.
18. I said, “My strength is gone,and I have no hope in the Lord.”
19. Lord, remember my suffering and my misery,my sorrow and trouble.
20. Please remember meand think about me.
21. But I have hopewhen I think of this:
22. The Lord’s love never ends;his mercies never stop.
23. They are new every morning;Lord, your loyalty is great.
24. I say to myself, “The Lord is mine,so I hope in him.”
25. The Lord is good to those who hope in him,to those who seek him.
26. It is good to wait quietlyfor the Lord to save.
