New King James Version

Lamentations 3:23-31 New King James Version (NKJV)

23. They are new every morning;Great is Your faithfulness.

24. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,“Therefore I hope in Him!”

25. The Lord is good to those who wait for Him,To the soul who seeks Him.

26. It is good that one should hope and wait quietlyFor the salvation of the Lord.

27. It is good for a man to bearThe yoke in his youth.

28. Let him sit alone and keep silent,Because God has laid it on him;

29. Let him put his mouth in the dust—There may yet be hope.

30. Let him give his cheek to the one who strikes him,And be full of reproach.

31. For the Lord will not cast off forever.
