Lamentaciones 3:24 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:24

The Lord [is] my portion, saith my soul
The prophet, or the church, whom he represents, rises and increases in the exercise of faith; from considering the mercies, compassions, and faithfulness of God, concludes a sure and firm interest in him, as a portion and inheritance. The Lord is the portion of his people in life and in death, in time and to eternity; all he is, and has, is theirs; they are heirs of him, and shall enjoy him for ever, and therefore shall not be consumed; he is a portion large and full, inexpressibly rich and great, a soul satisfying one, and will last for ever. And happy are those, who from their hearts, and with their souls, under a testimony of the Spirit of God to their spirits, and through a gracious experience of him, can say he is their portion and exceeding great reward, as the church here did; and these may say with her, as follows: therefore will I hope in him:
for deliverance from all evils and enemies; for present supplies of grace; and for the enjoyment of future glory and happiness.

Lamentaciones 3:24 In-Context

22 ¡el fiel amor del Señor
nunca se acaba!
Sus misericordias jamás terminan.

23 Grande es su fidelidad;
sus misericordias son nuevas cada mañana.

24 Me digo: «El Señor
es mi herencia,
por lo tanto, ¡esperaré en él!».

25 El Señor
es bueno con los que dependen de él,
con aquellos que lo buscan.

26 Por eso es bueno esperar en silencio
la salvación que proviene del Señor
