In the context of Lamentations, the author, traditionally believed to be Jeremiah, is recalling the destruction of Jerusalem and the subsequent exile. This remembrance is not just a mental exercise but a profound spiritual experience. The act of remembering is significant in the Hebrew tradition, often associated with covenantal faithfulness (<a href="/deuteronomy/8-2.htm">Deuteronomy 8:2</a>). The soul's remembrance here can be seen as a call to acknowledge past sins and the consequences that followed, aligning with the broader biblical theme of repentance and reflection (<a href="/psalms/42-4.htm">Psalm 42:4</a>).<p><b>and is humbled within me.</b><br>The humility expressed here is a response to the soul's remembrance of suffering and sin. This humility is not merely an emotional state but a recognition of one's position before God. In the biblical context, humility is often associated with repentance and a turning back to God (<a href="/2_chronicles/7-14.htm">2 Chronicles 7:14</a>). The phrase suggests a breaking down of pride and self-reliance, leading to a dependence on God's mercy. This humility is a precursor to the hope and renewal that follows in the subsequent verses of <a href="/lamentations/3.htm">Lamentations 3</a>, where the steadfast love and faithfulness of God are highlighted. The humbling of the soul is a necessary step in the process of restoration and redemption, themes central to the message of the prophets and the New Testament teachings on grace (<a href="/james/4-10.htm">James 4:10</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jeremiah.htm">Jeremiah</a></b><br>Traditionally attributed as the author of Lamentations, Jeremiah is known as the "weeping prophet."

In the next verse we read, "This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope," which seems inconsistent with ver. 20 as given in the Authorized Version. An equally grammatical and still more obvious translation is, <span class="accented">Thou</span> (<span class="accented">O God!</span>) <span class="accented">wilt surely remember, for my soul is bowed down within me.</span> The latter part of the line is a reminiscence of <a href="/psalms/42-5.htm">Psalm 42:5</a>, at least, if the text be correct, for the closing words do not cohere well with the opening ones. The Peshito (Syriac) has, "Remember, and revive [literally, 'cause to return'] my soul within me," which involves a slightly different reading of one word. But more tempting than any other view of the meaning is that of Bickell, though it involves a correction and an insertion, "My soul remembereth well and meditateth on thy faithfulness." <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/lamentations/3-20.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">Surely</span><br /><span class="heb">זָכ֣וֹר</span> <span class="translit">(zā·ḵō·wr)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Infinitive absolute<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2142.htm">Strong's 2142: </a> </span><span class="str2">To mark, to remember, to mention, to be male</span><br /><br /><span class="word">my soul</span><br /><span class="heb">נַפְשִֽׁי׃</span> <span class="translit">(nap̄·šî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5315.htm">Strong's 5315: </a> </span><span class="str2">A soul, living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion </span><br /><br /><span class="word">remembers</span><br /><span class="heb">תִּזְכּ֔וֹר</span> <span class="translit">(tiz·kō·wr)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb - Qal - Imperfect - third person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_2142.htm">Strong's 2142: </a> </span><span class="str2">To mark, to remember, to mention, to be male</span><br /><br /><span class="word">and is humbled</span><br /><span class="heb">וְתָשׁ֥וֹחַ</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ṯā·šō·w·aḥ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive imperfect - third person feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7743.htm">Strong's 7743: </a> </span><span class="str2">To sink down</span><br /><br /><span class="word">within me.</span><br /><span class="heb">עָלַ֖י</span> <span class="translit">(‘ā·lay)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> </span><span class="str2">Above, over, upon, against</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/lamentations/3-20.htm">Lamentations 3:20 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/lamentations/3-20.htm">Lamentations 3:20 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/lamentations/3-20.htm">Lamentations 3:20 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/lamentations/3-20.htm">Lamentations 3:20 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/lamentations/3-20.htm">Lamentations 3:20 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/lamentations/3-20.htm">Lamentations 3:20 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/lamentations/3-20.htm">Lamentations 3:20 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/lamentations/3-20.htm">Lamentations 3:20 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/lamentations/3-20.htm">Lamentations 3:20 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/lamentations/3-20.htm">Lamentations 3:20 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/lamentations/3-20.htm">OT Prophets: Lamentations 3:20 My soul still remembers them and (Lam.
