Lamentations 3:50 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:50

Till the Lord look do: on, and behold from heaven.
] Disperses and dissipates the cloud that was about him; shines forth and manifests himself, and looks favourably upon his people, and delivers them out of their troubles: this the prophet was in hope of, and was waiting for; but, till it came to pass, could have no rest and comfort. The Targum is,

``till he look and behold my injury;''
as if he had regard to his own personal injury done him; but the former sense is best.

Lamentations 3:50 In-Context

48 My eyes stream with rivers of water over the destruction of the daughter of my people."
49 My eyes weep ceaselessly; there is no respite,
50 until ADONAI looks down and sees from heaven.
51 My eyes make me so upset at the fate of the women in my city.
52 Those who are my enemies for no reason hunted me down like a bird.
