诗篇 77:4

4 你 叫 我 不 能 闭 眼 ； 我 烦 乱 不 安 ， 甚 至 不 能 说 话 。

诗篇 77:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 77:4

Thou holdest mine eyes waking
Or, "the watches", or rather "keepers of the eyes" ^F13; the eyebrows, which protect the eyes; these were held, so that he could not shut them, and get any sleep; so R. Moses Haccohen interprets the words, as Jarchi observes; and so the Targum,

``thou holdest the brows of my eyes;''

a person in trouble, when he can get some sleep, it interrupts his sorrow, weakens it at least, if it does not put a stop to it; wherefore it is a great mercy to have sleep, and that refreshing, ( Psalms 127:1 ) , but to have this denied, and to have wearisome nights, and be in continual tossing to and fro, is very distressing:

I am so troubled that I cannot speak;
his spirits were so sunk with weariness, and want of sleep in the night, that he could not speak in the morning; or his heart was so full with sorrow, that he could not utter himself; or it was so great that he could not express it; or his thoughts were such that he dared not declare them; or he was so straitened and shut up in himself that he could not go on speaking unto God in prayer.

诗篇 77:4 In-Context

2 我 在 患 难 之 日 寻 求 主 ； 我 在 夜 间 不 住 地 举 手 祷 告 ； 我 的 心 不 肯 受 安 慰 。

3 我 想 念 　 神 ， 就 烦 燥 不 安 ； 我 沉 吟 悲 伤 ， 心 便 发 昏 。 （ 细 拉 ）

4 你 叫 我 不 能 闭 眼 ； 我 烦 乱 不 安 ， 甚 至 不 能 说 话 。

5 我 追 想 古 时 之 日 ， 上 古 之 年 。

6 我 想 起 我 夜 间 的 歌 曲 ， 扪 心 自 问 ； 我 心 里 也 仔 细 省 察 。
