Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 88:9

"Mine eye wasteth away by reason of affliction: I have called daily upon thee, O Jehovah; I have spread forth my hands unto thee." — Psalms 88:9 (ASV)

Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction — I weep; my eye pours out tears. Literally, My eye pines away, or decays. Compare Job 16:20, note; Isaiah 38:3, note; Psalms 6:6, note.

Lord, I have called daily upon thee — That is, I have prayed earnestly and long, but I have received no answer.

I have stretched out my hands unto thee — I have spread out my hands in the attitude of prayer. The idea is that of earnest supplication.
