Lamentations 3:22

Compare all

20 My soul still remembers
And¹ sinks within me.

21 This I recall to my mind,
Therefore I have ^ahope.

22 ^aThrough the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions ^bfail not.

23 They are new ^aevery morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.

24 “The Lord is my ^aportion,” says my soul,
“Therefore I ^bhope in Him!”

25 The Lord is good to those who ^await for Him,
To the soul who seeks Him.

26 It is good that one should ^ahope ^band wait quietly
For the salvation of the Lord.

27 ^aIt is good for a man to bear
The yoke in his youth.

28 ^aLet him sit alone and keep silent,
Because God has laid it on him;

29 ^aLet him put his mouth in the dust—
There may yet be hope.

30 ^aLet him give his cheek to the one who strikes him,
And be full of reproach.

31 ^aFor the Lord will not cast off forever.

32 Though He causes grief,
Yet He will show compassion
According to the multitude of His mercies.

33 For ^aHe does not afflict willingly,
Nor grieve the children of men.

34 To crush under one’s feet
All the prisoners of the earth,

35 To turn aside the justice due a man
Before the face of the Most High,

Lamentations 3:22

It is of the Lord' s mercies that we are not consumed - Being thus humbled, and seeing himself and his sinfulness in a proper point of view, he finds that God, instead of dealing with him in judgment, has dealt with him in mercy; and that though the affliction was excessive, yet it seas less than his iniquity deserved. If, indeed, any sinner be kept out of hell, it is because God' s compassion faileth not.
