Lamentations 3:21
19 Remember my affliction and wandering, the wormwood and the gall.
20 Surely my soul remembers and is humbled within me.
Yet I call this to mind, and therefore I have hope:
22 Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail.
23 They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
