Lamentations 3:21 Meaning and Commentary

Lamentations 3:21

This I recall to my mind
Not affliction and misery, but the Lord's remembrance of his people; what he had been used to do, and would do again; and particularly what follows, the abundant mercy of God, and his great faithfulness; these things the prophet fetched back to his mind; and revolved them in his heart; says he, and therefore have I hope;
this revived his hope, which he was ready to say was perished from the Lord, and there was no foundation for it; but now he saw there was, and therefore took heart, and encouraged himself in the grace and mercy of God.

Lamentations 3:21 In-Context

19 Souviens-toi de mon affliction et de ma misère; ce n'est qu'absinthe et que poison.

20 Mon âme s'en souvient sans cesse, et elle est abattue au-dedans de moi.

21 Voici ce que je veux rappeler à mon cœur, et c'est pourquoi j'aurai de l'espérance:

22 Ce sont les bontés de l'Éternel, que nous n'ayons pas été consumés; ses compassions n'ont point défailli.

23 Elles se renouvellent chaque matin; ta fidélité est grande!
