Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction - I weep; my eye pours out tears. Literally, My eye pines away, or decays. Compare Job 16:20, note; Isaiah 38:3, note; Psalms 6:6, note. Lord, I have called daily upon thee - That is, I have prayed earnestly and long, but I have received no answer. I have stretched out my hands unto thee - I have spread out my hands in the attitude of prayer. The idea is that of earnest supplication. return to 'Top of Page'
