63 Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.
63 Look at them! Sitting or standing, they mock me in their songs.
63 Behold their sitting and their rising; I am the object of their taunts.
63 Sitting down or standing up - just look at them! - they mock me with vulgar doggerel.
63 Look at their sitting down and their rising up; I am their taunting song.
63 Look at them! Whether they sit or stand, I am the object of their mocking songs.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Lamentations 3:63
Commentary on Lamentations 3:55-66
(Read Lamentations 3:55-66)
Faith comes off conqueror, for in these verses the prophet concludes with some comfort. Prayer is the breath of the new man, drawing in the air of mercy in petitions, and returning it in praises; it proves and maintains the spiritual life. He silenced their fears, and quieted their spirits. Thou saidst, Fear not. This was the language of God's grace, by the witness of his Spirit with their spirits. And what are all our sorrows, compared with those of the Redeemer? He will deliver his people from every trouble, and revive his church from every persecution. He will save believers with everlasting salvation, while his enemies perish with everlasting destruction.
