George Leo Haydock, on Lam 2:19

“Coph. Arise, give praise in the night, in the beginning of the watches: pour out thy heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands to him for the life of thy little children, that have fainted for hunger at the top of all the streets.”

“Watches. Jerusalem is here represented in the midst of danger and misery. (Calmet)”
