THE MESSAGE
I'll never forget the trouble, the utter lostness, the taste of ashes, the poison I've swallowed. I remember it all—oh, how well I remember— the feeling of hitting the bottom. But there's one other thing I remember, and remembering, I keep a grip on hope:

Contextual Overview
1 I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of His wrath. 2 He hath led me and caused me to walk in darkness and not in light. 3 Surely against me He turneth His hand again and again all the day. 4 My flesh and my skin hath He worn out; He hath broken my bones. 5 He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail. 6 He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead. 7 He hath hedged me about, that I cannot go forth; He hath made my chain heavy. 8 Yea, when I cry and call for help, He shutteth out my prayer. 9 He hath enclosed my ways with hewn stone, He hath made my paths crooked. 10 He is unto me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.

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).
