Thomas Aquinas Commentary


Thomas Aquinas Commentary
"Thou hast heard their reproach, O Jehovah, and all their devices against me, The lips of those that rose up against me, and their device against me all the day. Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song." — Lamentations 3:61-63 (ASV)
Here he denounces his enemies' sin.
All this can be understood as being said from the perspective of the prophet or of the people, as was mentioned above. Now I am turned into their song, and am become their byword (Job 30:9). They that drank wine made me their song (Psalms 68:13).
