Contextual Overview

7 O remember that my lyfe is but a winde, and that myne eye shall no more see pleasures: 8 Yea and the eye that hath seene me, shal see me no more: for yer thou fasten thyne eye vpon me, I come to naught. 9 The cloude is consumed and vanished away: so he that goeth downe to the graue shall come no more vp, 10 Nor turne againe into his house, neither shall his place knowe him any more. 11 Therfore I wil not spare my mouth, but I will speake in the trouble of my spirite, and muse in the bitternesse of my mynde. 12 Am I a sea or a whale fish, that thou kepest me [so] in prison? 13 When I say, My bed shal comfort me, I shall haue some refreshing by talking to my selfe vpon my couch: 14 Then fearest thou me with dreames, & makest me so afrayde through visions, 15 That my soule wisheth rather to perishe and die, then my bones to remayne. 16 I can see no remedy, I shall liue no more: O spare me then, for my dayes are but vanitie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

When I say, my bed shall comfort me,.... When he thought within himself that he would lie down upon his bed and try if he could get a little sleep, which might comfort and refresh him, and which he promised himself he should obtain by this means, as he had formerly had an experience of:

my couch shall ease my complaint; he concluded, that by lying down upon his couch, and falling asleep, it would give some ease of body and mind; that his body would, at least, for some time be free from pain, and his mind composed, and should cease from complaining for a while; which interval would be a relief to him, and of considerable service. Some render it, "my couch shall burn" h; be all on fire, and torture me instead of giving ease; and so may have respect to his burning ulcers.

h ישא "ardebit", Pagninus; so Kimchi in Sepher Shorash. & Ben Melech in loc.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

When I say, My bed shall comfort me - The idea in this verse and the following is, that there was no intermission to his sorrows. Even the times when people usually sought repose were to him times of distress. Then he was disturbed and alarmed by the most frightful dreams and visions, and sleep fled from him.

Shall ease my complaint - The word rendered “shall ease” ישׂא yı̂śâ' means rather, shall bear; that is, shall lighten or sustain. The meaning is, that he sought relief on his bed.
