Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - Thou feedest them with the bread of tears (comp. Psalm 42:2, "My tears have been my meat day and night"). And givest them tears to drink in great measure; or, and givest them to drink a copious draught of tears; literally, shalish is a measure of capacity, probably the third part of an ephah (see Isaiah 40:12).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) Bread of tears.--See Psalm 42:3.In great measure.--Heb., shalish, i.e., a third part. (Comp. Isaiah 40:12, Margin.) Probably meaning a third part of an ephah. (See Exodus 16:36; Isaiah 5:10, LXX.) But here evidently used in a general way, as we say "a peck of troubles."
