I go mourning without the sun. I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.

ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 28. Mourning. Hebrew “blackened without the sun.” Bible.—Bile has disfigured my countenance, through excessive sorrow, verse 30. The dark olive complexions of the Jews and Arabs would be more susceptible of these effects. Calmet.—Indignation. I have not given way to passion, though I allowed full scope to my groans. Septuagint Bible.
