Lamentations 3:63 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:63

Behold their sitting down, and their rising up
All their actions; the whole course of their lives; all which fell under the divine omniscience, ( Psalms 139:2 ) ; but that is not barely here meant; but that he would take particular notice hereof, and punish for the same. It may have respect both to their lying down at night, and rising in the morning; and to their sitting down at meals, and rising from them; at which times they were always meditating mischief against the people of God, or speaking opprobriously of them; when they made sport of them, as follows: I [am] their music;
or "music maker" ^F26; as Samson was to the Philistines; the matter of their mirth; the subject of their song; and the object of their derision.

Lamentations 3:63 In-Context

61 Tu as entendu, ô Éternel! leurs outrages et tous leurs complots contre moi;

62 Les discours de ceux qui s'élèvent contre moi, et les desseins qu'ils forment contre moi tout le jour.

63 Regarde: quand ils s'asseyent ou quand ils se lèvent, je suis le sujet de leur chanson.

64 Tu leur rendras leur récompense, ô Éternel! selon l'œuvre de leurs mains.

65 Tu leur donneras l'aveuglement du cœur; ta malédiction sera pour eux.
