Heth
“The steadfast love
Of Yahweh
Never ceases.
His mercies
Never come
To an end.
They are new
Every morning.
Great is
Your faithfulness.
‘Yahweh
Is my portion.’
Says my soul.
‘Therefore I will hope
In him.’”
This poem or lamentation took a new turn towards the faithful love of Yahweh. The former tone of pessimism turned to hope, since the steadfast love of Yahweh never ceased. His mercy has no end. Every morning the faithfulness of Yahweh re-appeared. This author depended on Yahweh so that he would hope in Yahweh. Suddenly, this despairing author has great hope in Yahweh. These three verses start with the Hebrew consonant letter Heth in this acrostic poem.
