¹ I, am the man, that hath seen affliction, by the rod of his indignation; ² Me, hath he driven out and brought into darkness, and not light; ³ Surely, against me, doth he again and again, turn his hand all the day. ⁴ He hath worn out my flesh and my skin, hath broken my bones; ⁵ He hath built up against me, and carried round me, fortifications and a trench; ⁶ In dark places, hath he made me sit, like the dead of age-past times. ⁷ He hath walled up around me, that I cannot get out, hath weighted my fetter; ⁸ Yea, when I make outcry and implore, he hath shut out my prayer; ⁹ He hath walled in my ways with hewn stone, my paths, hath he caused to wind back. ¹⁰ A bear lying in wait, he is to me, 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.

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).
