15. He has given me my fill of bitter herbsand made me drunk with bitterness.ו (Vav)
16. He ground my teeth in gravel;he trampled me in the dust.
17. I am deprived of peace;I have forgotten what happiness is.
18. So I said, “My endurance has expired;I have lost all hope of deliverance from the Lord.”ז (Zayin)
19. Remember my impoverished and homeless condition,which is a bitter poison.
20. I continually think about this,and I am depressed.
21. But this I call to mind;therefore I have hope:ח (Khet)
22. The Lord’s loyal kindness never ceases;his compassions never end.
23. They are fresh every morning;your faithfulness is abundant!
