Verse 9
9. Our days are passed away in thy wrath They are “passed away” under the dispensation of thy judicial death-sentence.
As a tale that is told As a mourning. The sense of mourning, as if life were one prolonged death march, or moaning, is more in harmony with the first member of the verse and with the general scope, and is not an unfrequent use of the word. See Ezekiel 2:10; Isaiah 16:7; Isaiah 38:14; Isaiah 59:11. The idea is, that of a low murmur, or muffled sound of sorrow, which dies from the ear as soon as uttered.
