Taw Though I am like a wineskin dried by smoke The imagery of a "wineskin dried by smoke" evokes a powerful picture of distress and desolation. In ancient times, wineskins were made from animal hides and used to store wine. When exposed to smoke, these skins would become parched, brittle, and shriveled. The Hebrew word for "wineskin" here is "נֹאד" (nod), which signifies a container that has lost its original purpose and vitality due to harsh conditions. This metaphor reflects the psalmist's own experience of feeling worn out and afflicted by life's trials. Historically, this imagery would resonate with an agrarian society familiar with the process of winemaking and the care required to maintain wineskins. Spiritually, it underscores the believer's endurance through suffering, emphasizing that even when life leaves us feeling dry and depleted, our faith and reliance on God remain steadfast. I do not forget Your statutes We find in the ancient poets allusion to the custom of mellowing wine by heat: "Prodit fumoso condita vina cado."--OVID: Fast. v. 517. (Comp. Hor. Ode iii. 8, 9, 10). And so some understand the image here of the good results of the discipline of suffering. The LXX. and Vulg., instead of smoke, have "hoar-frost." The Hebrew word has this meaning in Psalm 148:8, but in the only other place where it occurs (Genesis 19:28) it is smoke. The possibility of rendering hoar-frost here suggests another explanation. The word nod (bottle) may be used of a cloud, and as the psalmist has just spoken of his eyes failing, we may have here only another expression for weeping.
