August 29: Lamentations 3–5
Lamentations 3–5 Lamentations 3–5 (Listen) Great Is Your Faithfulness 3 I am the man who has seen affliction<br /> under the rod of his wrath;<br />2 he has driven and brought me<br /> into darkness without any light;<br />3 surely against me he turns his hand<br /> again and again the whole day long.<br /> 4 He has made my flesh and my skin waste away;<br /> he has broken my bones;<br />5 he has besieged and enveloped me<br /> with bitterness and tribulation;<br />6 he has made me dwell in darkness<br /> like the dead of long ago.<br /> 7 He has walled me about so that I cannot escape;<br /> he has made my chains heavy;<br />8 though I call and cry for help,<br /> he shuts out my prayer;<br />9 he has blocked my ways with blocks of stones;<br /> he has made my paths crooked.<br /> 10 He is a bear lying in wait for me,<br /> a lion in hiding;<br />
