Contextual Overview
1 The Prophet Speaks: I have suffered much because God was angry. 2 He chased me into a dark place, where no light could enter. 3 I am the only one he punishes over and over again, without ever stopping. 4 God caused my skin and flesh to waste away, and he crushed my bones. 5 He attacked and surrounded me with hardships and trouble; 6 he forced me to sit in the dark like someone long dead. 7 God built a fence around me that I cannot climb over, and he chained me down. 8 Even when I shouted and prayed for help, he refused to listen. 9 God put big rocks in my way and made me follow a crooked path. 10 God was like a bear or a lion waiting in ambush for me;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Remembering mine affliction and my misery,.... The miserable affliction of him and his people; the remembrance of which, and poring upon it continually, caused the despondency before expressed: though it may be rendered imperatively, "remember my affliction, and my misery" s; so the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions; and Aben Ezra observes, that the words may be considered as a request to God, and so they seem to be; the prophet, and the people he represents, were not so far gone into despair, as to cast off prayer before God; but once more looked up to him, beseeching that he would, in his great mercy and pity, remember them in their distressed condition, and deliver out of it; for none could do it but himself:
the wormwood and the gall; figurative expressions of bitter and grievous afflictions, Lamentations 3:5.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Remembering - Or, as in the margin. It is a prayer to Yahweh.
My misery - Or, “my” homelessness (Lamentations 1:7 note).
