Sorrow Like a Passing Flood
Commentators highlight the powerful imagery of misery being remembered "as waters that are passed away." Like a flood that has receded or a river that has flowed by, past sorrows will become a distant memory, never to return. This illustrates the complete and final nature of the restoration God can bring, turning even the memory of past pain into a peaceful reminder of deliverance.
