因 我 唉 哼 的 声 音 ， 我 的 肉 紧 贴 骨 头 。
Contextual Overview
A prayer of a person who is suffering when he is discouraged and tells the Lord his complaints.
Lord , listen to my prayer; let my cry for help come to you. 2 Do not hide from me in my time of trouble. Pay attention to me. When I cry for help, answer me quickly. 3 My life is passing away like smoke, and my bones are burned up with fire. 4 My heart is like grass that has been cut and dried. I forget to eat. 5 Because of my grief, my skin hangs on my bones. 6 I am like a desert owl, like an owl living among the ruins. 7 I lie awake. I am like a lonely bird on a housetop. 8 All day long enemies insult me; those who make fun of me use my name as a curse. 9 I eat ashes for food, and my tears fall into my drinks. 10 Because of your great anger, you have picked me up and thrown me away.Bible Verse Review

Gill's Notes on the Bible
By reason of the voice of my groaning,.... Under the burden of sin, and pressure of afflictions:
my bones cleave to my skin; was quite emaciated, reduced to a skeleton, became nothing but skin and bone e; which sometimes is occasioned, as by outward afflictions, so by soul troubles: or "to my flesh" f; flesh is put for skin; see Job 19:20.
e "Ossa atque pellis sum", Plauti Capteivei, Act. 1. Sc. 2. v. 26. Asinaria 3. 6. v. 28. f לבשרי "carni meae", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
By reason of the voice of my groaning - By suffering and trouble, so great as to produce groaning, my flesh is wasted away.
My bones cleave to my skin - Margin, “flesh.” The Hebrew word means “flesh.” The effect described is that of a wasting away or an emaciation of flesh from deep distress, so that the bones became prominent, and had nothing to hide them from view; so that they seemed to adhere fast to the flesh itself. See the notes at Job 19:20.
