17. I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.
18. So I say, “My splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the Lord.”
19. I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.
20. I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.
21. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
22. Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
23. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
