Contextual Overview
1[ALEPH-BET] I [am] the man [who] has seen affliction || By the rod of His wrath. 2He has led me, and causes to go [in] darkness, and without light. 3Surely against me He turns back, || He turns His hand all the day. 4He has worn out my flesh and my skin. He has broken my bones. 5He has built up against me, || And sets around poverty and weariness. 6In dark places He has caused me to dwell, || As the dead of old. 7He has hedged me in, and I do not go out, || He has made heavy my chain. 8Also when I call and cry out, || He has shut out my prayer. 9He has hedged my ways with hewn work, || My paths He has made crooked. 10A bear lying in wait He [is] to me, || A lion in secret hiding places.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
My soul hath [them] still in remembrance,.... That is, according to our version, affliction and misery, compared to wormwood and gall: but the words, "my soul", are fetched from the next clause, where they ought to stand, and this to be rendered, "in remembering thou wilt remember" t; or, "thou wilt surely remember", and so expresses the confidence of the prophet, and his firm belief, his faith and hope increasing in prayer, that God would in much mercy remember his people, and their afflictions, and save them out of them:
and is humbled in me; both under the afflicting hand of God, and in view and hope of his mercy: though rather it should be rendered, "and" or "for my soul meditateth within me" u; says or suggests such things to me, that God will in wrath remember mercy; see Psalms 77:7. So Jarchi makes mention of a Midrash, that interprets it of his soul's waiting till the time that God remembers.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 20. By soul - is humbled in me. — It is evident that in the preceding verses there is a bitterness of complaint against the bitterness of adversity, that is not becoming to man when under the chastising hand of God; and, while indulging this feeling, all hope fled. Here we find a different feeling; he humbles himself under the mighty hand of God, and then his hope revives, Lamentations 3:21.
