Even this day is my complaint bitter.
The word rendered complaint, is translated also sometimes prayer, and sometimes meditation. (Gen. 24.69.) Isaac went out into the field to meditate, we put in the Margin, to pray. Hannah useth the same word (1 Sam. 1.16.) Account not thy handmaid for a daughter of Belial, for out of the abundance of my complaint (we put in the Margin, Meditation) and grief, have I spoken hitherto. Many complain, who pray not, some pray, who complain not, and others meditate, who do neither complain nor pray, yet usually we meditate, that we may consider what to pray about, & in prayer pour out our complaints both about those sins and wants and mercies, which have fallen under our meditation.
