Psalms 38:5-8
_ _ The loathsomeness, corruption, and wasting torture of severe physical disease set forth his mental anguish [Psalms 38:6]. It is possible some bodily disease was connected. The loins are the seat of strength. His exhaustion left him only the power to groan [Psalms 38:9]. |

Psalms 38:5

(f) That rather gave place to my own lusts, than to the will of God. |
- My wounds:
- The soul being invisible, its distempers are also so; therefore the sacred writers describe them by the distempers of the body. (See the parallel texts on these verses.) On reading these and similar passages, say Bp. Lowth, some, who were but little acquainted with the genius of Hebrew poetry, have pretended to enquire into the nature of the disease with which the poet was afflicted; not less absurdly, in my opinion, than if they had perplexed themselves to discover in what river he was plunged, when he complains that "the deep waters had gone over his soul."
Psalms 38:7 For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease]: and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.
Psalms 32:3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
Isaiah 1:5-6 Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. ... From the sole of the foot even unto the head [there is] no soundness in it; [but] wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.
Jeremiah 8:22 [Is there] no balm in Gilead; [is there] no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
