The steadfast love of the Lord

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases.
Your mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning,
new every morning:
great is your faithfulness, O Lord,
great is your faithfulness.

You, Lord, are my portion, says my soul;
therefore I will hope in you.

You, Lord, are good to those who wait for you,
to the soul that seeks you;
it is good that we should wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.

The Lord will not cast off forever,
but will have compassion;
for God does not willingly
afflict or grieve the righteous ones.

So let us examine all our ways,
and return to the Lord;
let us lift up our hearts and
hands to God in heaven.
