Psalms 38:6 - Exposition

I am troubled ; literally, bent ; which some take physically, and explain as "twisted by violent spasms," others, psychically, as "warped in mind," "driven crazy." I am bowed down greatly; i.e. bowed to earth, crooked, as men are in extreme old age, or by such maladies as lumbago and rheumatism. I go mourning all the day long . My gait is that of a mourner—I stoop and move slowly.
