Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - By reason of the voice of my groaning; i.e. "by reason of the affliction which causes my groaning." My bones cleave to my skin; literally, to my flesh, but the Authorized Version rightly expresses the meaning (comp. Job 19:20; Lamentations 4:8).

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Skin.--See margin. In Lamentations 4:8, more correctly, "my skin cleaveth to my bones;" a picture of emaciation, the result of fasting.
