I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?
Ver. 9. I will say unto God my rock, Why hast thou forgotten me?] Tene veto mei immemorem esse? Thus I will in a familiar manner expostulate with him, and lay my case open unto him, as to a friend. The flesh suggesteth that he is forgotten, but faith holdeth its own, fastening on the Rock of ages.
Why go I mourning] Heb. Black, as one that is in mourning weeds; or, that had lain among the pots.
