18 So I say, "My glory has faded away. My hope in the Lord is gone."
19 I remember how I suffered and wandered. I remember how bitter my life was.
20 I remember it very well. My spirit is very sad deep down inside me.
21 But here is something else I remember. And it gives me hope.
22 The Lord loves us very much. So we haven't been completely destroyed. His loving concern never fails.
23 His great love is new every morning. Lord, how faithful you are!
24 I say to myself, "The Lord is everything I will ever need. So I will put my hope in him."
