ExplanationCommentary
Verse 19. In thee. Let the cry of my blood, which issues from my wounds, and the injury which my reputation has suffered, come before the throne of God. Calumny is a species of murder. See Genesis 4:10. Calmet.—If I be really guilty, I am willing to remain unburied. Let the dogs lick up my blood. Cajet.—Cry. Let the hills re-echo my sufferings. Pineda.
Et quodcumque meæ possunt narrare querelæ,
