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
.
