They are new every morning
This phrase speaks to the renewal of God's mercies and compassions, which are referenced in the preceding verse. The Hebrew word for "new" is "חֲדָשִׁים" (chadashim), which implies freshness and renewal. In the context of Lamentations, a book filled with sorrow and lament over the destruction of Jerusalem, this phrase offers a profound hope. Each day brings a fresh start, a new opportunity to experience God's grace. Historically, this reflects the daily renewal of God's covenant with His people, reminiscent of the manna provided daily to the Israelites in the wilderness (Exodus 16:4). The morning, a time of new beginnings, symbolizes hope and the promise of God's unwavering presence.

great is Your faithfulness
The Hebrew word for "great" is "רַב" (rav), indicating abundance and magnitude. "Faithfulness" is translated from "אֱמוּנָה" (emunah), which conveys steadfastness, reliability, and trustworthiness. This phrase underscores the immense and unchanging nature of God's faithfulness. In the historical context of Lamentations, despite the devastation and exile, the prophet Jeremiah acknowledges God's enduring faithfulness to His covenant. This faithfulness is not contingent on human actions but is rooted in God's character. Scripturally, this echoes throughout the Bible, from God's promises to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3) to the assurance of salvation through Christ (Romans 5:8). For believers, this serves as a reminder that God's promises are sure, and His faithfulness is a foundation upon which they can build their lives, even amidst trials and tribulations.

(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.
