3:17 I 1 am deprived 2 of peace; 3
I have forgotten what happiness 4 is.
3:18 So I said, “My endurance has expired;
I have lost all hope of deliverance 5 from the Lord.”
ז (Zayin)
3:19 Remember 6 my impoverished and homeless condition, 7
which is a bitter poison. 8
3:20 I 9 continually think about 10 this,
and I 11 am depressed. 12
3:21 But this I call 13 to mind; 14
therefore I have hope:
ח (Khet)
3:22 The Lord’s loyal kindness 15 never ceases; 16
his compassions 17 never end.
3:23 They are fresh 18 every morning;
your faithfulness is abundant! 19
3:24 “My portion is the Lord,” I have said to myself, 20
so I will put my hope in him.
ט (Tet)
3:25 The Lord is good to those who trust 21 in him,
to the one 22 who seeks him.
