Jasmine Words l Personal

Indeed, he has turned his hand against me
again and again, all day long.

He has besieged me and surrounded me
with bitterness and hardship.

He has walled me in so I cannot escape;
he has weighed me down with chains.

I remember my affliction and my wandering,
the bitterness and the gall.

I well remember them,
and my soul is downcast within me.

Yet this I call to mind
and therefore I have hope:

Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.

They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.

I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him."
