[There is] no soundness in my flesh, because of thine
anger,
&c.] Such was the nature of the affliction the psalmist
laboured under, and which he took to be an effect of the anger of
God towards him, that the whole frame of nature was affected with
it, and from the crown of the head to, the soles of the feet
there was no health or soundness, as in ( Isaiah 1:6 ) ; where the
same word is used as here; some think the word
neither [is
there any] rest in my bones, because of my sin;
or "peace"
F8 there; sin breaks the believer's rest,
and disturbs his peace; nor can he, in a view of it, find any
rest in himself, nor in any creature, nor in any service or duty,
only in Jesus Christ, his blood, righteousness, and
sacrifice.
