Psalms 80:5 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. Thou feedest them with the bread of tears - They have no peace, no comfort, nothing but continual sorrow.

In great measure - שליש shalish, threefold. Some think it was a certain measure used by the Chaldeans, the real capacity of which is not known. others think it signifies abundance or abundantly.
