Holy Scripture
Lamentations 3:24
A church father on this verse
“Third, there is an intended conclusion: "The Lord is my portion," my soul says, "therefore I will hope in him." Namely, since I (Jeremiah) choose his divine mercy in portions while others despise it. As said in Psalm 16:5: "The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; thou holdest my lot."”

In context
22It is the mercies of the Lord, That he has not failed me, Because his compassions are not exhausted. Pity us, O Lord, Early every month: For we are not brought to an end, Because his compassions are not exhausted.
23They are new every morning: Great is thy faithfulness.
— Lamentations 3:24 —
25The Lord is good to them that wait for him: The soul which shall seek him
26Is good, and shall wait for, And quietly expect salvation of the Lord.
