Mine eye is consumed with grief With continual weeping; yea, my soul My sorrows are not counterfeit, or slight, but inward and penetrating: my mind is oppressed, my heart is ready to sink under my burden; and my belly So the word בשׂני, bitai, signifies: but it evidently means here the whole body, especially the stomach and bowels, which were particularly affected by his trouble and grief. My life is spent The time of my life, as the next clause explains it; with grief and my years with sighing I cannot subsist long, except thou relievest me. My strength faileth I am wasted away with sorrow; because of mine iniquity Either, 1st, Through my deep and just sense of my sins, which have provoked God to afflict me in this manner; or, 2d, For the punishment of mine iniquity. And my bones are consumed The juice and marrow of them being almost dried up with excessive grief.
