16 He has also broken my teeth with gravel,And covered me with ashes.
17 You have moved my soul far from peace;I have forgotten prosperity.
18 And I said, “My strength and my hopeHave perished from the Lord.”
19 Remember my affliction and roaming,The wormwood and the gall.
20 My soul still remembersAnd sinks within me.
21 This I recall to my mind,Therefore I have hope.
22 Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,Because His compassions fail not.
