17 My soul has been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what happiness is.
18 Then I thought: My future is lost,as well as my hope from the Lord.
19 Remember my affliction and my homelessness, the wormwood and the poison.
20 I continually remember themand have become depressed.
21 Yet I call this to mind,and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the Lord’s faithful love we do not perish, for His mercies never end.
23 They are new every morning;great is Your faithfulness!
