He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep His anger forever.

But the mercy of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear Him, and His righteousness unto children's children,

Come, my people, enter into your rooms and shut your doors behind you; hide (as it were) for a few moments, until the indignation has passed.

For a brief moment I have left you; but with great mercies I will gather you.

In overflowing wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness I will have mercy upon you, says Jehovah your Redeemer.

For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and consecrated place, even with the contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would grow faint before Me, and the souls I have made.

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is achieving for us a surpassing and eternal weight of glory,

You will make known to Me the way of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy. At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! And the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of Your wings.

For with You is the Fountain of Life; in Your light we shall see light.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise You.

And he showed me a pure river of Water of Life, clear as crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who hears say, Come. And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take of the Water of Life freely.

I am weary from my groaning; all night I make my bed swim; I dissolve my couch with my tears.

Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for Jehovah has heard the voice of my weeping.

You have kept an account of my wanderings; O put my tears into Your bottle; are they not in Your Book.

In God (I praise His Word); in Jehovah (I praise His Word);

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

He who goes forth with weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

and said, Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech You, how I have walked before You in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done what is good in Your eyes. And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.

Go and say to Hezekiah: Thus says Jehovah the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add to your days fifteen years.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Truly, truly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will become joy.

Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and no one takes your joy from you.

Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry unto repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.

God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God shall help her at the break of day.

But I will sing of Your power; yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; for You have been my stronghold and refuge in the day of my distress.

Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, for in You do I trust; cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul unto You.

And Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the dawn began to rise.

Then we shall know, we who follow on to know Jehovah. His going forth is established as the dawn. And He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.
