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.

48 Mon œil se fond en ruisseaux d'eaux, à cause de la ruine de la fille de mon peuple.
49 Mon œil pleure et ne cesse point, parce qu'il n'y a point de relâche,
50 Jusqu'à ce que l'Éternel regarde et qu'il voie des cieux!
51 Mon œil afflige mon âme, à cause de toutes les filles de ma ville.
52 Ceux qui sont mes ennemis sans cause, m'ont donné la chasse comme à un oiseau.
