Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou tensest me to ride upon it; i.e. thou makest me to be storm-tossed. I am as it were a straw caught up by a whirlwind, and borne hither and thither in the wide regions of space, unknowing whither I go. I am treated as I have described the wicked man to be treated (Job 27:20, 21). And dissolvest my substance. "Dissolvest me entirely" (Professor Lee); dissolvest me in the storms (Revised Version).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) Thou liftest me up to the wind.--Some render this verse, "Thou liftest me up to the wind, and causest me to ride upon it; Thou dissolvest me in thy blast;" others understand him to express the contrast between his former prosperous state and his present low condition: "Thou usedst to raise me and make me ride upon the wind, and now Thou dissolvest my substance, my very being." (Comp. Psalm 102:10 : "Thou hast lifted me up and cast me down.")
