“I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.”
The psalmist describes how he is bowed down and brought very low, and all day long he walks about mourning. The physical posture of being bowed down suggests not merely psychological depression but the actual bending of the body under the weight of affliction. The description of constant mourning throughout the day emphasizes the totality of the suffering. This verse portrays the psalmist as sunk in profound grief and affliction.
