Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
Thou tellest my wanderings - i:e., Thou takest note of my movements in 'my flight' from my home and country.
Put thou my tears into thy bottle - i:e., receive them as it were in a lachrymatory, or bottle for receiving tears, that thou mayest treasure them up as precious in thy sight, and as calling for an ample compensation to me in joy hereafter (Psalms 126:5; Isaiah 61:7). His tears were shed because of his flight or banishment. There is a play upon similar sounds, to mark this connection an the Hebrew for "my wanderings" and "thy bottle" х no'dekaa (H4997); nodiy (H5112)].
Are they not in thy book? - thy "book of remembrance" (Malachi 3:16).
