He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.  They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
