21. But this I recall and therefore have I hope and expectation:
22. It is because of the Lord's mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not. [Mal. 3:6.]
23. They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness. [Isa. 33:2.]
24. The Lord is my portion or share, says my living being (my inner self); therefore will I hope in Him and wait expectantly for Him. [Num. 18:20.]
25. The Lord is good to those who wait hopefully and expectantly for Him, to those who seek Him [inquire of and for Him and require Him by right of necessity and on the authority of God's word].
26. It is good that one should hope in and wait quietly for the salvation (the safety and ease) of the Lord.
27. It is good for a man that he should bear the yoke [of divine disciplinary dealings] in his youth.
28. Let him sit alone uncomplaining and keeping silent [in hope], because [God] has laid [the yoke] upon him [for his benefit]. [Rom. 8:28.]
