THE MESSAGE
I'll never forget the trouble, the utter lostness, the taste of ashes, the poison I've swallowed. I remember it all—oh, how well I remember— the feeling of hitting the bottom. But there's one other thing I remember, and remembering, I keep a grip on hope:

Contextual Overview
1I am the man who has seen affliction 2He has driven me away and forced me to walkin darkness instead of light. 3Yes, he repeatedly turns his handagainst me all day long. 4He has worn away my flesh and skin;he has broken my bones. 5He has laid siege against me,encircling me with bitterness and hardship. 6He has made me dwell in darknesslike those who have been dead for ages. 7He has walled me in so I cannot get out;he has weighed me down with chains. 8Even when I cry out and plead for help,he blocks out my prayer. 9He has walled in my ways with blocks of stone;he has made my paths crooked. 10He is a bear waiting in ambush,a lion in hiding.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Remembering mine affliction and my misery,.... The miserable affliction of him and his people; the remembrance of which, and poring upon it continually, caused the despondency before expressed: though it may be rendered imperatively, "remember my affliction, and my misery" s; so the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions; and Aben Ezra observes, that the words may be considered as a request to God, and so they seem to be; the prophet, and the people he represents, were not so far gone into despair, as to cast off prayer before God; but once more looked up to him, beseeching that he would, in his great mercy and pity, remember them in their distressed condition, and deliver out of it; for none could do it but himself:
the wormwood and the gall; figurative expressions of bitter and grievous afflictions, Lamentations 3:5.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Remembering - Or, as in the margin. It is a prayer to Yahweh.
My misery - Or, âmyâ homelessness (Lamentations 1:7 note).
