John Gill, on Lam 3:45

“Samech. Thou hast made me as an outcast, and refuse in the midst of the people.”

“Till the Lord look do: on, and behold from heaven. Disperses and dissipates the cloud that was about him; shines forth and manifests himself, and looks favourably upon his people, and delivers them out of their troubles: this the prophet was in hope of, and was waiting for; but, till it came to pass, could have no rest and comfort. The Targum is, "till he look and behold my injury;'' as if he had regard to his own personal injury done him; but the former sense is best.”
