I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me. Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. I say to myself, The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him. The LORD is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; It is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
