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 afflictionBecause of the rod of His wrath. 2He has driven me and made me walkIn darkness and not in light. 3Surely against me He has turned His handRepeatedly all the day. 4He has caused my flesh and my skin to waste away;He has broken my bones. 5He has besieged and encompassed me with gall and hardship. 6Dark places He has made me inhabit,Like those who have long been dead. 7He has walled me in so that I cannot go out;He has made my chain heavy. 8Even when I cry out and call for help,He shuts out my prayer. 9He has blocked my ways with cut stone;He has made my paths crooked. 10He is to me like a bear lying in wait,Like a lion in secret places.

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.
s זכר "recordare", Munster, Pagninus, Montanus, Vatablus, Cocceius, Michealis.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Remembering - Or, as in the margin. It is a prayer to Yahweh.
My misery - Or, “my” homelessness (Lamentations 1:7 note).
