Psalms 109:23 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

I am gone, &c. Hebrew, נהלכתי, neehlacheti, I am made to go, either, 1st, From place to place; which was David's case when he was persecuted by Saul and by Absalom, and Christ's case upon earth when he had no certain place where to lay his head. Or, 2d, Into the grave, as this phrase frequently signifies; like the shadow when it declineth Toward the evening, when, the sun setting, it vanisheth instantly and irrecoverably. I am tossed up and down as a locust Which of itself is unstable, continually leaping and moving from place to place, and is easily driven away with every wind. So am I exposed to perpetual and successive changes within myself, and to a thousand violences and mischiefs from other persons and things.
