The Pulpit Commentary on Lamentations 3:55

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

I called. Bunsen renders, "Then I called." But there is no connection indicated in the Hebrew between this and the preceding triad. Out of the low dungeon; literally, out of the pit of the lower parts (of the earth)—a phrase borrowed from Psalms 88:6 (Hebrew, 7).

Sheol, or Hades, is signified.
