“Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure.”
The suffering is described: "You have fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in full measure." The metaphorical language transforms weeping into sustenance and drink; the people's existence has become characterized by suffering. The phrase "in full measure" suggests abundance—there are tears in abundance, an overflowing cup of suffering.
