Lamentations 3:21 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:21

This I recall to my mind
Not affliction and misery, but the Lord's remembrance of his people; what he had been used to do, and would do again; and particularly what follows, the abundant mercy of God, and his great faithfulness; these things the prophet fetched back to his mind; and revolved them in his heart; says he, and therefore have I hope;
this revived his hope, which he was ready to say was perished from the Lord, and there was no foundation for it; but now he saw there was, and therefore took heart, and encouraged himself in the grace and mercy of God.

Lamentations 3:21 In-Context

19 Quand je pense à ma détresse et à ma misère, A l'absinthe et au poison;
20 Quand mon âme s'en souvient, Elle est abattue au dedans de moi.
21 Voici ce que je veux repasser en mon coeur, Ce qui me donnera de l'espérance.
22 Les bontés de l'Eternel ne sont pas épuisées, Ses compassions ne sont pas à leur terme;
23 Elles se renouvellent chaque matin. Oh! que ta fidélité est grande!
