And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:

Remember [O Lord] my affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and the gall (bitterness).

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.

He is to sit apart and remain silent, because the LORD has laid it upon him.

For the Lord will not cast off for ever:

To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.

Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.

Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
