Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 4. I am counted with them, &c. ] I am as good as dead; nearly destitute of life and hope.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - The first words of the psalmist are the only words of comfort an support in this psalm.

Probably the psalmist described his own case, yet he leads to Christ. Thus are we called to look unto Jesus, wounded an bruised for our iniquities. But the wrath of God poured the greates bitterness into his cup. This weighed him down into darkness and the deep.
