¹⁵ If I shoulde say that I woulde iudge after this sort: lo then I shoulde condempne the generation of thy children. ¹⁶ Therfore I considered howe I might vnderstande this: but it was to paynefull in myne eyes. ¹⁷ Untyll I went vnto the sanctuarie of God: and vnderstood the ende of them. ¹⁸ Truely thou doest set them in slippery places: and castest them downe headlong for to be destroyed. ¹⁹ Oh howe be they brought to a destruction euen vpon a sodayne: they faynt, they consume away for very dread. ²⁰ They be as a dreame to a man after he is once waked: O Lorde thou wylt cause their image to be dispised in the citie.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

When I thought to know this,.... How to reconcile the prosperity of the wicked, and the afflictions of the righteous, to the perfections of God, and his wise providence in the government of the world, by the mere dint of reason, without consulting the sacred oracles, or his own and others' experience:

it was too painful for me: too laborious and toilsome, a work he was not equal to; "hic labor, hoc opus"; see Ecclesiastes 8:17.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

When I thought to know this - When I endeavored to comprehend this, or to explain it to myself. The idea is that he “thought” on the subject, or “meditated” on it with a view to be able to understand it. He did not express his opinions and feelings to others, but he dwelt on them in his own mind; not to find additional difficulties, not to confirm himself in opposition to God, and not to find new occasions for distrusting the divine government, but to understand exactly how this was. It was his object to seek and understand “the truth.”

It was too painful for me - Margin, “It was labor in mine eyes.” The Hebrew word rendered “painful,” means properly labor, toil, a burden; and the idea is, that the question was a burden - was too weighty for his weak powers.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 73:16. When I thought to know this — When I reviewed the history of our fathers, I saw that, though thou hadst from time to time hidden thy face because of their sins, yet thou hadst never utterly abandoned them to their adversaries; and it was not reasonable to conclude that thou wouldst do now what thou hadst never done before; and yet the continuance of our captivity, the oppressive hardships which we suffer, and the small prospect there is of release, puzzle me again. These things have been very painful to me.
