Contextual Overview

⁴² We, have trespassed and rebelled, Thou, hast not pardoned. ⁴³ Thou hast covered thyself with anger, and pursued us, hast slain - hast not spared; ⁴⁴ Thou hast screened thyself with the clouds, that prayer, should not pass through; ⁴⁵ Offscouring and refuse, dost thou make us, in the midst of the peoples. ⁴⁶ With their mouth, opened wide over us, stand all our foes. ⁴⁷ Terror and a pit, have befallen us, tumult and grievous injury; ⁴⁸ With streams of water, mine eye runneth down, over the grievous injury of the daughter of my people. ⁴⁹ Mine eye, poureth itself out and ceaseth not, without relief; ⁵⁰ Until Yahweh out of the heavens shall look forth, and see, ⁵¹ Mine eye dealeth severely with my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

We have transgressed, and have rebelled,.... Here begins the prayer, the sense of which is directed to, though the words are not dictated; and it begins with confession of sin, as prayer should, especially when in such circumstances as the people of the Jews now were; and with confession of it, as a transgression of the law of God; and as rebellion against him, as every sin is, a breach of his law, a contempt of his authority, and a trampling under foot his legislative power, and an act of hostility against him; and so downright rebellion; every sin being an overt act of that kind; and which is aggravated by the favours before acknowledged to have been received:

thou hast not pardoned; as they apprehended; they had not the discovery and application of pardoning grace and mercy; otherwise pardon of sin with God is past, and includes all sin present and future, as well as past; but temporal afflictions being upon them, they concluded their sins were not pardoned; pardon of sin in Scripture often signifying the removal of such afflictions.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The prophet urges men to search out their faults and amend them.

Lamentations 3:40

And turn again to the Lord - Or, “and return to Yahweh.” The prep. (to) in the Hebrew implies not half way, but the whole.

Lamentations 3:41

Literally, “Let us lift up our heart unto our hands unto God in heaven;” as if the heart first lifted up the hands, and then with them mounted up in prayer to God. In real prayer the outward expression is caused by the emotion stirring within.
