19. The thought of my pain, my homelessness, is bitter poison;
20. I think of it constantly and my spirit is depressed.
21. Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing:
22. The Lord's unfailing love and mercy still continue,
23. Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.
24. The Lord is all I have, and so I put my hope in him.
25. The Lord is good to everyone who trusts in him,
26. So it is best for us to wait in patience — to wait for him to save us —
27. And it is best to learn this patience in our youth.
28. When we suffer, we should sit alone in silent patience;
29. We should bow in submission, for there may still be hope.
30. Though beaten and insulted, we should accept it all.
