For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.
For I have become like a bottle [a wineskin blackened and shriveled] in the smoke [in which it hangs], yet do I not forget Your statutes.
For I am become like a wine-skin in the smoke; Yet do I not forget thy statutes.
because I’ve become like a bottle dried up by smoke, though I haven’t forgotten your statutes.
My skin is black, and falleth from me, And my bones are burned with heat.
I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. ג GIMEL
I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; For I do not forget thy commandments.
The cords of the wicked have wrapped me round; But I have not forgotten thy law.
My Strength is dried up like a potsherd; And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
