John Gill, on Lam 3:50
John Gill · 1697–1771
Lam 3:50 · Douay-Rheims
“Ain. Till the Lord regarded and looked down from the heavens.”
On this verse:
“I called upon thy name, O Lord,.... As in times past, so in the present distress; when all hope was gone, and all help failed, still there was a God to go to, and call upon: out of the low dungeon; or "dungeon of lownesses" (r); the lowest dungeon, the deepest distress, a man or people could be in; yet then and there it is not too late to call upon the Lord; and there may be hope of deliverance out of such an estate by him. (r) "e cisterna infimitatum", Piscator.”
