My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
Radak
Decayed: – (The word) עָשְֽׁשָׁה (“is moth-eaten”) is of the same origin (as עָשׁ, “moth”; cf) “the moth (עָשׁ) shall devour them” (Is. 1. 9), as if he had said “decays.” because of vexation is mine eye: – And the reason why I weep is because of the vexation with which I am vexed against my enemies, who rejoice at my sickness. And the interpretation of (the word rendered) it is removed (עתקה) – may be gathered from “And the rock is removed (יעתק) out of its place” (Job 14:18). The expressions decayed (“moth-eaten”) and removed (ועתקה ועשׁשׁה) are used hyperbolically. And the explanation of with (ב) all my adversaries is “on account of” (בעבור) all my adversaries. And there are some (Targum, Rashi ad loc.) who explain עתקה in the sense of “is grown old (נתישנה),” in accordance with the Targum rendering of ישׁן (“the old store”) in Lev. 25:22 by עתיק.
