Psalms 38:6 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Troubled, Heb. distorted, or depressed; or, as it is expressed by another word, signifying the same thing, bowed down, to wit, in my body, as diseased persons commonly are, and withal dejected in my mind. I go mourning, Heb. in black, the sign of mourning, which may here signify the thing, as signs oft do. When for my ease I rise out of my bed and walk, or rather creep about in my chamber, I do it with a sad heart and dejected countenance. Or if he did walk further, his disease had some intervals and mitigations. Or going may be here meant of his languishing, or going towards the grave, as this same word is used, Genesis 15:2, compared with Genesis 25:32 Joshua 23:14.
