17 And thus my Soule farre off from peace was set,

200And my prosperity I did forget.

18 My strength, my hope (unto my selfe I said)

Which from the Lord should come, is perished.

19 But when my mournings I do thinke upon,

My wormwood, hemlocke, and affliction,

20520 My Soule is humbled in remembring this;

21 My heart considers, therefore, hope there is.

22 'Tis Gods great mercy we'are not utterly

Consum'd, for his compassions do not die;
