What the Fathers say

Lamentations 3:24

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

Third, there is an intended conclusion: "The Lord is my portion," my soul says, "therefore I will hope in him." Namely, since I (Jeremiah) choose his divine mercy in portions while others despise it. As said in Psalm 16:5: "The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; thou holdest my lot."
