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. ‡
