New Living Translation NLT
New International Version NIV
16 He has made me chew on gravel. He has rolled me in the dust.
16
He has broken my teeth with gravel; he has trampled me in the dust.
17 Peace has been stripped away, and I have forgotten what prosperity is.
17
I have been deprived of peace; I have forgotten what prosperity is.
18 I cry out, “My splendor is gone! Everything I had hoped for from the LORD is lost!”
18
So I say, “My splendor is gone and all that I had hoped from the LORD.”
19 The thought of my suffering and homelessness is bitter beyond words.
19
I remember my affliction and my wandering, the bitterness and the gall.
20 I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss.
20
I well remember them, and my soul is downcast within me.
21 Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this:
21
Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope:
22 The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease.
22
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
23 Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.
23
They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!”
24
I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The LORD is good to those who depend on him, to those who search for him.
25
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;
26 So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the LORD .
26
it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
