Psalms 102:5

Ver. 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 {e}; which sometimes is occasioned, as by outward afflictions, so by soul troubles: or "to my flesh" {f}; flesh is put for skin; see Job 19:20.

{e} "Ossa atque pellis sum", Plauti Capteivei, Act. 1. Sc. 2. v. 26. Asinaria 3. 6. v. 28. {f} yrvbl "carni meae", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
