Lamentations

¹⁷And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace; I forgat prosperity. ¹⁸And I said, My strength is perished, and mine expectation from the Lord. ¹⁹Remember mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. ²⁰My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is bowed down within me. ²¹This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. ²²It is of the Lord'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. ²³They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.
