GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS
Key verse: 23
NIV
19 I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness(A) and the gall.(B)
20 I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast(C) within me.(D)
21 Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the Lord’s great love(E) we are not consumed,(F)
for his compassions never fail.(G)
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.(H)
24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;(I)
therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;(J)
26 it is good to wait quietly(K)
for the salvation of the Lord.(L)
27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.
28 Let him sit alone in silence,(M)
for the Lord has laid it on him.
29 Let him bury his face in the dust(N)—
there may yet be hope.(O)
30 Let him offer his cheek to one who would strike him,(P)
and let him be filled with disgrace.(Q)
31 For no one is cast off
by the Lord forever.(R)
32 Though he brings grief, he will show compassion,
so great is his unfailing love.(S)
33 For he does not willingly bring affliction
or grief to anyone.(T)

ESV
19 (A)Remember my affliction and my wanderings,
(B)the wormwood and (C)the gall!
20 My soul continually remembers it
(D)and is bowed down within me.
21 But this I call to mind,
and (E)therefore I have hope:
22 (F)The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;[a]
(G)his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new (H)every morning;
(I)great is your faithfulness.
24 (J)“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
(K)“therefore I will hope in him.”
25 The Lord is good to those who (L)wait for him,
to the soul who seeks him.
26 (M)It is good that one should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.
27 (N)It is good for a man that he bear
the yoke (O)in his youth.
28 Let him (P)sit alone in silence
when it is laid on him;
29 (Q)let him put his mouth in the dust—
there may yet be hope;
30 (R)let him give his cheek to the one who strikes,
and let him be filled with insults.
31 (S)For the Lord will not
cast off forever,
32 but, though he (T)cause grief, (U)he will have compassion
(V)according to the abundance of his steadfast love;
33 (W)for he does not afflict from his heart
or (X)grieve the children of men.
34 To crush underfoot
all (Y)the prisoners of the earth,
35 (Z)to deny a man justice
in the presence of the Most High,
36 to subvert a man in his lawsuit,
(AA)the Lord does not approve.
37 (AB)Who has spoken and it came to pass,
unless the Lord has commanded it?
38 (AC)Is it not from the mouth of the Most High
that good and bad come?
39 (AD)Why should a living man complain,
a man, about the punishment of his sins?
