“I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.”
The continuation that the psalmist has exhausted the voice from crying and the eyes fail while waiting for God articulates the physical and emotional toll of persistent suffering and prayer. The exhaustion of the voice from crying suggests that the psalmist has poured out complete expression of anguish. The failure of eyes while waiting indicates that hope itself has become painful; the strain of anticipating divine response has depleted physical resources. This verse emphasizes the sustainability of suffering: it continues beyond what human endurance is designed to bear.
