Adam Clarke
I went mourning without the sun - chammah , which we here translate the sun, comes from a root of the same letters, which signifies to hide, protect, etc., and may be translated, I went mourning without a protector or guardian; or, the word may be derived from cham , to be hot, and here it may signify fury, rage, anger; and thus it was understood by the Vulgate: Maerens incedebam, sine furore , I went mourning without anger; or, as Calmet translates, Je marchois tout triste, mais sans me laisser aller a l' emportement ; "I walked in deep sadness, but did not give way to an angry spirit." The Syriac and Arabic understood it in the same way.
