Gill's Notes on the Bible
I reckoned till morning,.... Or, "I set my time till the morning m"; he fixed and settled it in his mind that he could live no longer than to the morning, if he lived so long; he thought he should have died before the night came on, and, now it was come, the utmost he could propose to himself was to live till morning; that was the longest time he could reckon of. According to the accents, it should be rendered, "I reckoned till morning as a lion"; or "I am like until the morning as a lion"; or, "I likened until the morning (God) as a lion"; I compared him to one; which agrees with what follows. The Targum is,
"I roared until morning, as a lion roars;''
through the force of the disease, and the pain he was in: or rather,
"I laid my bones together until the morning as a lion; "so indeed as a lion God" hath broken all my bones n:''
so will he break all my bones; or, "it will break"; that is, the sickness, as Kimchi and Jarchi; it lay in his bones, and so violent was the pain, that he thought all his bones were breaking in pieces; such is the case in burning fevers, as Jerom observes; so Kimchi interprets it of a burning fever, which is like a fire in the bones. Some understand this of God himself, to which our version directs, who may be said to do this by the disease: compare with this Job 16:14 and to this sense the following clause inclines:
from day even tonight wilt thou make an end of me; he lived till morning, which was more than he expected, and was the longest time he could set himself; and now be reckoned that before night it would be all over with him as to this world. This was the second day of his illness; and the third day he recovered, and went to the temple with his song of praise.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
I reckoned - There has been considerable variety in interpreting this expression. The Septuagint renders it, âI was given up in the morning as to a lion.â The Vulgate renders it, âI hoped until morning;â and in his commentary, Jerome says it means, that as Job in his trouble and anguish Isaiah 7:4 sustained himself at night expecting the day, and in the daytime waiting for the night, expecting a change for the better, so Hezekiah waited during the night expecting relief in the morning. He knew, says he, that the violence of a burning fever would very soon subside, and he thus composed himself, and calmly waited. So Vitringa renders it, âI composed my mind until the morning.â Others suppose that the word used here (ש××Ö¼××ª× shıÌvıÌythıÌy), means, âI made myself like a lion,â that is, in roaring. But the more probable and generally adopted interpretation is, âI looked to God, hoping that the disease would soon subside, but as a lion he crushed my bones. The disease increased in violence, and became past endurance. Then I chattered like a swallow, and mourned like a dove, over the certainty that I must die.â Our translators, by inserting the word âthat,â have greatly marred the sense, as if he had reckoned or calculated through the night that God would break his bones, or increase the violence of the disease, whereas the reverse was true. He hoped and expected that it would be otherwise, and with that view he composed his mind.
As a lion so will he break all my bones - This should be in the past tense. âHe (God) did crush all my bones.â The connection requires this construction. The idea is, that as a lion crushes the bones of his prey, producing great pain and sudden death, so it was with God in producing great pain and the prospect of sudden death.
From day even to night ... - (See the note at Isaiah 38:12) Between morning and night. That is, his pain so resembled the crushing of all the bones of an animal by the lion, that he could not hope to survive the day.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Isaiah 38:13. The last line of the foregoing verse ×××× ×¢× ×××× ×ª×©×××× × migom ad layelah tashlimeni, "In the course of the day thou wilt finish my web;" or, as the common version has it, "From day even to night wilt thou make an end of me," is not repeated at the end of this verse in the Syriac version; and a MS. omits it. It seems to have been inserted a second time in the Hebrew text by mistake.
I reckoned till morning, c. - "I roared until the morning like the lion"] For ש×××ª× shivvithi, the Chaldee has × ×××ת nihameith: he read ש×××ª× shaagti, the proper term for the roaring of a lion often applied to the deep groaning of men in sickness. See Psalms 22:1; Psalms 32:3; Psalms 38:9; Job 3:24. The Masoretes divide the sentence, as I have done; taking ×××¨× caari, like a lion, into the first member; and so likewise the Septuagint.
