Psalms 38:7 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Loathsome disease. — The Hebrew word is a passive participle of a verb meaning to scorch, and here means inflamed or inflammation. Ewald renders “ulcers.” The LXX. and Vulg., deriving from another root meaning to be light, or made light of, render “mockings.”

Psalms 38:7

7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
