Psalms 38:8 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

I am feeble and sore broken. — Better, I am become deadly cold, and am quite worn out.

Disquietness. — Properly, roaring. Thus, of the sea (Isaiah 5:30), of lions (Proverbs 19:12; Proverbs 20:2). A very slight alteration once suggested by Hitzig, but since abandoned, would give here, “I roared more than the roaring of a lion.”

Psalms 38:8

8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
