Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - I am weary - or, worn out (Kay) - with my groaning. The Oriental habit of giving vent to grief in loud lamentations must be remembered. Herodotus says that at the funeral of Masistias, the Persians present "vented their grief in such loud cries that all Boeotia resounded with the clement" (Herod., 9:24). All the night make I my bed to swim (comp. Homer, 'Od.,' 17:102, 103). The Revised Version has, "every night," which is a possible meaning. Dr. Kay translates, "I drench my bed." I water my couch with my tears. One of the usual pleonastic second clauses.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) I water my couch with tears.--Comp. Odyssey, xvii. 102:"Say, to my mournful couch shall I ascend?The couch deserted now a length of years,The couch for ever watered with my tears."--Pope's trans.Orientals indulge in weeping and other outward signs of emotion, which Western nations, or, at all events, the Teutonic races, try to suppress or hide.
