Psalms 141:7 - Exposition

Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth . The calamity is not confined to the "judges." The bones of the people generally lie scattered at hews mouth—unburied, i . e ; but ready to go down to Hades. As when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth ; rather, as when one cleaves and breaks up the earth . "The bones of God's servants were strewn as thickly ever the ground as stones over a newly ploughed piece of soil, so that the Holy Land looked as if it had become an antechamber of Hades" (Kay).
