Steadfast Love


But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the L
ORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
"The L
ORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."
The L
ORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.
It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the L
ORD.

—Lamentations 3 (NRSV)
