Lamentations 3:21-39 (New Revised Standard)
21
But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
22
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, a his mercies never come to an end;
23
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
24
"The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."
25
The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.
26
It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
27
It is good for one to bear the yoke in youth,
28
to sit alone in silence when the Lord has imposed it,
29
to put one's mouth to the dust (there may yet be hope),
30
to give one's cheek to the smiter, and be filled with insults.
31
For the Lord will not reject forever.
32
Although he causes grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love;
33
for he does not willingly afflict or grieve anyone.
34
When all the prisoners of the land are crushed under foot,
35
when human rights are perverted in the presence of the Most High,
36
when one's case is subverted —does the Lord not see it?
37
Who can command and have it done, if the Lord has not ordained it?
38
Is it not from the mouth of the Most High that good and bad come?
39
Why should any who draw breath complain about the punishment of their sins?
