Contextual Overview
1[ALEPH-BET] I [am] the man [who] has seen affliction || By the rod of His wrath. 2He has led me, and causes to go [in] darkness, and without light. 3Surely against me He turns back, || He turns His hand all the day. 4He has worn out my flesh and my skin. He has broken my bones.5He has built up against me, || And sets around poverty and weariness. 6In dark places He has caused me to dwell, || As the dead of old. 7He has hedged me in, and I do not go out, || He has made heavy my chain. 8Also when I call and cry out, || He has shut out my prayer. 9He has hedged my ways with hewn work, || My paths He has made crooked. 10A bear lying in wait He [is] to me, || A lion in secret hiding places.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
My flesh and my skin hath he made old,.... His flesh with blows, and his skin with smiting, as the Targum; his flesh was so emaciated, and his skin so withered and wrinkled, that he looked like an old man; as our Lord, when little more than thirty years of age, what with his sorrows and troubles, looked like one about fifty:
he hath broken my bones; that is, his strength was greatly weakened, which lay in his bones; and he could not stir to help himself, any more than a man whose bones are broken; and was in as much pain and distress as if this had been his case; otherwise it was not literally true, either of the Jews, or of Jeremiah, or of Christ.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Made old - Or, wasted: his strength slowly wasted as he pined away in sorrow.
He hath broken my bones - This clause completes the representation of the suffererâs physical agonies. Here the idea is that of acute pain.
