Psalm 102:5 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 102:5

By reason of the voice of my groaning
Under the burden of sin, and pressure of afflictions:

my bones cleave to my skin;
was quite emaciated, reduced to a skeleton, became nothing but skin and bone ^F5; which sometimes is occasioned, as by outward afflictions, so by soul troubles: or "to my flesh" ^F6; flesh is put for skin; see ( Job 19:20 ) ( 4:8 ) .

Psalm 102:5 In-Context

3 (101-4) For my days are vanished like smoke, and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.

4 (101-5) I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.

5 (101-6) Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.

6 (101-7) I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.

7 (101-8) I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
