My tears have been bread to me day and night, while they daily said to me, Where is your God? 1

In The King James Version

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

In Context

2My soul has thirsted for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God? 1

4I remembered these things, and poured out my soul in me, for I will go to the place of your wondrous tabernacle, even to the house of God, with a voice of exultation and thanksgiving and of the sound of those who keep festival. + 41:4 There are several difficulties connected with this passage. In the first place it seems evident that the LXX. read בסך, and the English translators בסר, or something similar. The Hebrew Text (to which no קרי is appended) thus far favours the LXX.; who, however, appear to have read אררס as a part of ארר, and made an adjective of it. Again, τόπῳ has nothing immediately answering it in the Hebrew, and may be accounted for on the principle so often referred to of double translation. 1
