19 Remember 3:19 Or I remember my affliction and my homelessness, 3:19 Is 58:7; Lm 1:7
the wormwood and the poison. 3:19 Dt 29:18; Jr 9:15; 23:15
20 I continually remember them
and have become depressed. 3:20 Alt Hb tradition reads and you cause me to collapse, 3:20 Ps 42:5–6,11; 43:5; 44:25
21 Yet I call this to mind,
and therefore I have hope: 3:21 Jb 13:15; Ps 33:22; 71:14; 130:5; Mc 7:7

22 Because of the Lord’s faithful love 3:22 Ps 89:1; 103:17; Is 63:7
we do not perish, 3:22 One Hb mss, Syr, Tg read The Lord’s faithful love, indeed, does not perish
for his mercies never end.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness! 3:23 Ps 36:5; 89:1–8; 100:5
24 I say, "The Lord is my portion, 3:24 Nm 18:20; Ps 73:26; 142:5; Jr 10:16
therefore I will put my hope in him."
