Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Lamentations 3:59-63

Lamentations 3:59-63. O Lord, thou hast seen my wrong Here the prophet adverts to his present sufferings, and the ill usage he met with, concerning which he appeals to God; as if he had said, Thou hast seen that I have done no wrong at all, but that I suffer a great deal.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Lamentations 3:1-66

Grief, repentance and hope (3:1-66)This poem is different in style from the previous two. The poet speaks as if he is the representative of all Judah, describing Judah’s sufferings as if they were his own. And those sufferings are God’s righteous judgment (3:1-3). He is like a starving man ready to die. Indeed, he feels as if he already dwells in the world of the dead (4-6). He is like a man chained and locked inside a stone prison from which there is no way out (7-9).To the writer God seems... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Lamentations 3:63

Lamentations 3:63. I am their musick— The subject of their songs. See Lam 3:14 and Houbigant; who renders the three following verses, as do many other versions, in the future tense. REFLECTIONS.—1st, The prophet here mingles his lamentations over his own sufferings with those of the people; or he personates the church in general: and some, with good appearance of reason, suppose him herein a type of Christ. 1. He laments over his afflictions as singularly heavy, embittered with a sense of the... read more
