Lamentations 3:55

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

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) מבור תחתיות "e cisterna infimitatum", Piscator.
