Matthew Poole and continuators on Lamentations 5:1

1 REmember, O LORD, what is come upon us: consider and behold our reproach .

It hath been before observed that it is very frequent in Scripture to express those acts which are reasonably consequent to the exercise of our exterior or interior senses, by terms which signifie the exercise of those senses. That which the Prophet here prayeth for is Gods freeing the Jews from those calamities which oppressed them, this he prayeth for under the notion of Gods remembring them, and beholding their reproach.
