What stood me up?
Ibn Ezra #1: The pain.
Ibn Ezra #2: Elifaz.
Malbim: Hashem.
What is the meaning of "Limshol"?
Ibn Ezra: I will be "l'Mashal veli'Shninah 1 ."
Malbim: People will curse via me - you should be afflicted like Iyov.
Rashi (Devarim 28:37): When an evil blow comes on someone, they will say 'this is like Ploni's affliction.' People will speak about him. Ibn Ezra (ibid.) - l'Mashal is in the ear; li'Shninah is in the mouth.
What is "Tofes l'Fanim"?
Rashi: I will be like Tof (a drum) in people's eyes.
Ibn Ezra: I will be the place of Gehinom to people.
Malbim: You say that a Rasha is judged in Gehinom after death - my afflictions are Gehinom before death, in my lifetime!
