And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:
And I said, My strength and my hope is perished from the LORD:
And I said, My strength is perished, and mine expectation from Jehovah.
And I said, My strength is cut off, and my hope from the Lord.
And I said, My strength and my hope hath perished from the LORD:
I said, My strength is perished, and my expectation from Yahweh.
And I said, My strength is perished, and mine expectation from the LORD.
And my hope - That first, that last support of the miserable - it is gone! it is perished! The sovereign God alone can revive it.
The prophet reaches the verge of despair. But by struggling against it he reaches at length firm ground.
