McDowall, Cecilia: The Lord is good

The Lord is good (2012)

The Lord is good unto them that wait for him,
to the soul that seeketh him.
It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait
for the salvation of the Lord.
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion
according to the multitude of his mercies.
For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
For the Lord will not cast off for ever:
The Lord is good.

Jerusalem convertere ad Dominum Deum tuum.
[O Jersualem, return unto the Lord thy God.]

Words: Lamentations 3: 25–7, 31–33; Hosea 14: 1
