Lamentations 3:16-23

16He has broken my teeth with gravel; he has trampled me in the dust.

17I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.

18So I say, “My splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the LORD .”

19I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.

20I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.

21Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:

22Because of the LORD ’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.

23They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
