Verse explanation
'New mercies every morning' is the emotional turning point of the entire book: right in the middle of the heaviest lament, the poet remembers that God's mercy never runs out. It's stated not as a magic solution to the suffering, but as the anchor that holds everything together before the lament continues.
From the Lamentations 3 study in Bible in Stories.
