Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
Ver. 82. Mine eyes fail] God sometimes deferreth to help till men have stopped looking: Luke 18:8, "When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith?" hardly. This he doth to commend his favours to us, and to set a price on them.
Saying, When wilt thou comfort me?] This is a prosopopoeia, as if David's eyes said thus, while they earnestly expected comfort.
