Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 6:2

2. Have mercy upon me , O LORD, for I am weak : O LORD, heal me for my bones are vexed .

I plead not my merit, but thy free Mercy.

Or, I languish, my Body pines away and my Spirit fails through my excessive pains or troubles.

(i. e.) The distempers of my Soul and Body, of both which this word is used, Psal. 41. 4. and 107. 18, 20.

My torment is so deep and so general, that it reacheth, and is very grievous even to my Bones, tho they are inward, and might seem to be out of the reach of it, and also strong and senseless, and therefore can best bear it. See the like expressions, Iob 4. 14. and 33. 19. Psal. 38. 3. and 51. 8.
