Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Lamentations 3:23
There are new evidences of Yahweh’s lovingkindness and compassion every day that testify to His great faithfulness (cf. Psalms 36:5; Psalms 36:7). His daily provision of manna for the Israelites in the wilderness was one example of this."The word translated ’compassions’ draws attention to God’s emotional response to the needs of His people [cf.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Lamentations 3:24
Jeremiah reminded himself that Yahweh was his portion. Consequently he had hope (cf. Numbers 18:20).

Zion’s Hope in God’s MercyThis third poem is the most elaborate in structure and the most sublime in thought of all. The poet speaks not only for himself, but for the nation.

(22) It is of the Lord’s mercies.—It is, perhaps, part of the elaborate art of this poem that Lamentations 3:22-42, which form its centre, and that of the whole book, represent the highest point of trust to which the mourner attains, being both preceded and followed by words of lamentation. read more

(23) They are new.—The subject of the sentence is found in the “compassions” of the preceding verse. With the dawn of every day there dawn also the mercies of Jehovah. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Lamentations 3:24
(24) The Lord.—An inversion of the sentence gives a closer and more emphatic rendering: My portion is Jehovah. The phrase is a reminiscence from Psalms 16:5; Psalms 73:26; Psalms 142:5; Psalms 119:57, the thought resting primarily on Numbers 18:20. read more
