This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Desolate (memonōmenē). Perfect passive participle of monoō (from monos), “left alone,” old verb, here alone in N.T. Without husband, children, or other close kin.

Hath her hope set on God (ēlpiken epi theon). Perfect active indicative of elpizō, “hath placed her hope (and keeps it) on God.” Text doubtful whether God (theon) or Lord (Kurion).

Continues (prosmenei). See note on 1Ti 1:3. With dative case here.

Night and day (nuktos kai hēmeras). “By night and by day” (genitive, not accusative). Paul does not say that she should pray “all night and day.”
