When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

{When} I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart {is} faint in me. {in: Heb. upon}

Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted. {sore: Heb. hand}

Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:

When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud. {my soul: Heb. my principal one}

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, {having} sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?

Verily I have cleansed my heart {in} vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick.
