Gill's Exposition on Lamentations 3:23
[They are] new every morning,.... That is, the tender mercies or compassions of God are, which prove that they fail not; there are instances of them every day, not only in a temporal, but in a
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Lamentations 3:23
It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Lamentations 3:23
These compassions of God are renewed day by day, to declare the great faithfulness of God in fulfilling his many promises made for mercy to his people.
Trapp's Commentary on Lamentations 3:23
Lamentations 3:23 [They are] new every morning: great [is] thy faithfulness.Ver. 23. They are new every morning.] Yea, every moment. We have continual experiments. Great is thy faithfulness.] God’ s mercy moved him to promise; his truth to perform. See 2 Samuel 7:18; 2 Samuel 7:21.
Ellicott's Commentary on Lamentations 3:23
(23) They are new.—The subject of the sentence is found in the “compassions” of the preceding verse. With the dawn of every day there dawn also the mercies of Jehovah.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Lamentations 3:23
Verse 23. They are new every morning] Day and night proclaim the mercy and compassion of God. Who could exist throughout the day, if there were not a continual superintending Providence? Who could be preserved in the night, if the Watchman of Israel ever slumbered or slept?
Cambridge Bible on Lamentations 3:23
22, 23. There are metrical irregularities in these vv. as they stand. We should probably (with Löhr) read the first, “The Lord’s compassion ceaseth not”; “His love is not spent,” and the second, which is now too short in its first part, we may safely extend by supplying from the former clause “New is thy compassion every morning.”
Whedon's Commentary on Lamentations 3:23
23. New every morning — That is, Jehovah’s mercies are “new,” or repeated.
