14. I am a joke to everyone—no one ever stopsmaking fun of me.
15. God has turned my life sour.
16. He made me eat graveland rubbed me in the earth.
17. I cannot find peaceor remember happiness.
18. I tell myself, “I am finished!I can't count on the Lordto do anything for me.”
19. Just thinking of my troublesand my lonely wanderingmakes me miserable.
20. That's all I ever think about,and I am depressed.
21. Then I remember somethingthat fills me with hope.
22. The Lord's kindness never fails!If he had not been merciful,we would have been destroyed.
