6 I
MC

6 I
MC

4 I
MC
VC
Lamentations 3:18
And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the Lord:
4 I
MC
VC
Lamentations 3:19
Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
MC
VC
Lamentations 3:20
My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
MC

This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
4 I

MC
VC
Lamentations 3:30
He giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
MC
VC
Lamentations 3:31
For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
MC

Lamentations 3:44
Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that our prayer should not pass through.
MC

I called upon thy name, O Lord, out of the low dungeon.
6 I
MC
VC
Lamentations 3:56
Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
8 I
MC
VC
Lamentations 3:57
Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
9 I
MC
VC

Lamentations 3:62
The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day.

Persecute and destroy them in anger from under the heavens of the Lord.
