Verse 49
Mine eye trickleth down, and ceaseth not ,.... From weeping, as the Targum: the prophet was continually weeping; the distresses of his people were always uppermost in his mind; and which so affected him, that it drew tears from his eyes, which constantly trickled down his cheeks:
without any intermission ; or, "without intermissions" F14 מאין הפגות "a non intermissionibus", Montanus, Calvin; "sine intervallis", Cocceius. ; there were no stops or pauses in his grief, and in the expressions of it: or it may be rendered, "because there were no intermissions" F15 "Eo quod nullae sunt intermissiones", Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Tigurine version. ; that is, of the miseries of his people; so Jarchi,
"because there were no changes and passing away;'
that is of evils; and to the same purpose the Targum,
"because there is none that intermits my distress, and speaks comforts to me.'
