诗篇 6:7 RCUVSS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 6:7

Mine eye is consumed - The word here rendered “consumed” - עשׁשׁ ‛âshêsh - means properly to fall in, to fall away, and is applied here to the “eye” as pining or wasting away from care, anxiety, and sorrow. Tears were poured forth from the eye, and it seemed to be exhausting itself in this manner. The meaning is, that it had grown “dim,” or that its sight began to fail, like that of an old man, on account of his troubles. Many have understood the word here rendered “eye” as referring to the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 6:6-7

Psalms 6:6-7. All the night Or, every night, as the margin renders כל לילה , cal lailah; make I my bed to swim With tears, an hyperbole used also elsewhere. It well becomes the greatest spirits to be tender, and to relent under the tokens of God’s displeasure. David, who could face Goliath himself, melts into tears at the remembrance of sin, and under the apprehension of divine wrath, and it is no diminution to his character. Mine eye is consumed Or grown dim, or dull, as עשׁשׁה ,... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 6:1-10

Psalms 6:0 Anxiety in a time of troubleThrough either illness or some other depressing situation, David is distressed, in both body and mind. This has caused him to search his life to see if God is using this affliction to punish him for some sin. Humbly he asks God for mercy (1-3). He fears death, and his pain and sorrow become more distressing through the personal attacks that his opponents make on him (4-7). The thought of these ungodly enemies, however, gives David confidence that God will... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 6:7

Psalms 6:7. Mine eye, &c.— Mine eye is {fretted / worn away} with indignation; it is grown old because of all my oppressors. Mr. Mudge observes, that the original word עתקה athkah, rendered waxeth old, signifies to be fixed, stiffened, set in one's head. According to him, it never implies age, in the sense of decay, but duration only; and means hard, stiff, firm, durable. Parkhurst, however, rather thinks, that its proper meaning is to sink, or be sunk with grief. So Dryden, His eye-balls... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 6:1-10

Psalms 6Many interpreters consider this one of the penitential psalms in which David repented for some sin he had committed and for which he was suffering discipline (cf. Psalms 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, 143). [Note: See the excursus on the penitential psalms in Chisholm, pp. 301-2.] This is the first of the seven."It was the practice of the early Christians to sing and read the [penitential] psalms on Ash Wednesday as part of their penance for sin. In a strict sense, however, it is not a penitence... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 6:6-7

3. Lament over illness 6:6-7David described his condition in extreme (hyperbolic) language to indicate how terrible he felt. Evidently his adversaries had been responsible for his condition to some extent, perhaps by inflicting a wound."From my own experience and pastoral ministry, I’ve learned that sickness and pain either make us better or bitter, and the difference is faith."

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 6:1-10

This is the first of the Penitential Psalms, the others being Psalms 32, 38, 51, 102, 130, 143. It is the prayer of a sufferer whose experience is like that of Job. He is prostrated by severe illness, and is even in danger of death, while the mockery of his enemies makes his trouble the harder to bear. He entreats earnestly that God may deliver him (Psalms 6:1-7), and rises to a sudden confidence that his prayer has been heard and that his enemies will be put to shame (Psalms 6:8-10).Title.—On... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 6:7

(7) Consumed—i.e., sunken; literally, fallen away. The LXX. use the same word employed to render vexed in Psalms 6:2. Grief has brought the signs of premature age (Job 17:7; Psalms 31:9, and Note there). (See Homer’s Odyssey, xix. 360, “Quickly do mortals grow old from trouble.”) read more
