Lamentations 3:21-33

This I recall to my mind,
Therefore have I hope.

It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed,
Because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning:
Great is thy faithfulness.
The LORD is my portion, saith my soul;
Therefore will I hope in him.

The LORD is good unto them that wait for him,
To the soul that seeketh him.
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly
Wait for the salvation of the LORD.
It is good for a man that he bear
The yoke in his youth.

He sitteth alone and keepeth silence,
Because he hath borne it upon him.
He putteth his mouth in the dust;
If so be there may be hope.
He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him:
He is filled full with reproach.

For the Lord will not
Cast off for ever:
But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion
According to the multitude of his mercies.
For he doth not afflict willingly
Nor grieve the children of men.
