Klagelieder 3:55 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:55

I called upon thy name, O Lord
As in times past, so in the present distress; when all hope was gone, and all help failed, still there was a God to go to, and call upon: out of the low dungeon;
or "dungeon of lownesses" F18; the lowest dungeon, the deepest distress, a man or people could be in; yet then and there it is not too late to call upon the Lord; and there may be hope of deliverance out of such an estate by him.

F18 (twytxt rwbm) "e cisterna infimitatum", Piscator.

Klagelieder 3:55 In-Context

53 sie haben mein Leben in einer Grube fast umgebracht und Steine auf mich geworfen;
54 sie haben mein Haupt mit Wasser überschüttet; da sprach ich: Nun bin ich gar dahin.
55 Ich rief aber deinen Namen an, HERR, unten aus der Grube,
56 und du erhörtest meine Stimme: Verbirg deine Ohren nicht vor meinem Seufzen und Schreien!
57 Du nahest dich zu mir, wenn ich dich anrufe, und sprichst: Fürchte dich nicht!
