Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) I said, My strength.--The sorrow of the mourner comes to the very verge of despair. There was "no help for him from his God;" even that hope had left him. But, as the sequel shows, this despair was the beginning of a reaction. The very name of Jehovah (no longer Adonai) reminded him of the everlasting mercies.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewSo I say,וָאֹמַר֙ (wā·’ō·mar)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - first person common singularStrong's 559: To utter, say“My strengthנִצְחִ֔י (niṣ·ḥî)Noun - masculine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 5331: Eminence, enduring, everlastingness, perpetuityhas perishedאָבַ֣ד (’ā·ḇaḏ)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 6: To wander away, lose oneself, to perishalong with my hopeוְתוֹחַלְתִּ֖י (wə·ṯō·w·ḥal·tî)Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular construct | first person common singularStrong's 8431: Expectationfrom the LORD.”מֵיְהוָֽה׃ (Yah·weh)Preposition-m | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of IsraelJump to PreviousCut Expectation Glory Hope Hoped Perished Splendor Strength
