Gill's Notes on the Bible
And I said, my strength and my hope are perished from the Lord. The former of these words signifies, according to Aben Ezra, "my standing", my subsistence, my continuance in being, or my perpetuity; according to Jarchi, my abiding r in this world; it is rendered "blood" in Isaiah 63:3; which is the support of life; and which when gone, or ceases to circulate, a man ceases to be: the sense is, that the prophet, or those he represents, looked upon themselves as dead men, at least of a short continuance; their natural strength was exhausted, and they must quickly die, and had no hope of living, or of enjoying the divine favour, or good things, at the hand of God. Some understand it of spiritual strength to do good, and of hope of having good things, or deliverance from the hand of God, which they were despairing of; for the words are the language of despondency, and betray great, weakness and infirmity; for in the Lord is everlasting strength, and he is the hope of his people, and the Saviour of them in time of trouble, Isaiah 26:4.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Having dwelt upon the difficulties which hemmed in his path, he now shows that there are dangers attending upon escape.
Lamentations 3:11
The meaning is, “God, as a lion, lying in wait, has made me turn aside from my path, but my flight was in vain, for springing upon me from His ambush lie has torn me in pieces.”
Desolate - Or, astonied, stupefied that he cannot flee. The word is a favorite one with Jeremiah.
Lamentations 3:12
This new simile arises out of the former one, the idea of a hunter being suggested by that of the bear and lion. When the hunter comes, it is not to save him.
Lamentations 3:14
Metaphor is dropped, and Jeremiah shows the real nature of the arrows which rankled in him so deeply.
Lamentations 3:15
“He hath” filled me to the full with bitterness, i. e. bitter sorrows Job 9:18.
Lamentations 3:16
Broken my teeth with gravel stones - His bread was so filled with grit that in eating it his teeth were broken.
Lamentations 3:17
Prosperity - literally, as in the margin, i. e. I forgot what good was, I lost the very idea of what it meant.
Lamentations 3:18
The prophet reaches the verge of despair. But by struggling against it he reaches at length firm ground.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 18. And my hope — That first, that last support of the miserable-it is gone! it is perished! The sovereign God alone can revive it.
