Lamentations 3:57 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:57

Thou drewest near in the day [that] I called upon thee
When persons draw nigh to God in a way of duty, and particularly in this of prayer, and calling on his name; he draws nigh to them in a way of grace and mercy, and manifests himself to them, and works salvation for them. The Targum is,

``thou didst cause an angel to draw near to deliver me in the day that I prayed unto thee:''
thou saidst, fear not;
any of thine enemies; or that thou shouldest not be delivered from them; see ( Isaiah 41:10 ) .

Lamentations 3:57 In-Context

55 J'ai invoqué ton nom, ô Éternel! du fond de la fosse.
56 Tu as entendu ma voix; ne cache point ton oreille à mes soupirs, à mes cris!
57 Au jour où je t'ai invoqué, tu t'es approché, tu as dit: Ne crains rien!
58 Seigneur, tu as plaidé la cause de mon âme, tu as racheté ma vie.
59 Tu as vu, Éternel, le tort qu'on me fait; fais-moi justice!
