Lamentations 3

21 Then I remember something

that fills me with hope.

22 The Lord's kindness never fails!

If he had not been merciful,

we would have been destroyed.*3.22 destroyed: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text of verse 22.

23 The Lord can always be trusted

to show mercy each morning.

24 Deep in my heart I say,

"The Lord is all I need;

I can depend on him!"

25 The Lord is kind to everyone

who trusts and obeys him.

26 It is good to wait patiently

for the Lord to save us.
