What is "Mavligisi [Alai Yagon]"?

1.

Rashi: This is like Havlagasi (my self-restraint); it is a noun.

2.

Radak: This is strengthening, like "v'Avligah Me'at" (Iyov 10:20). R. Yonah said that the word combines the masculine (Mavligi) and the feminine (Mavligasi). Men and woman try to strengthen me - I cannot be strengthened, for my heart mourns.

3.

Radak citing his brother R. Moshe: The word is Mavligis (like Marbis) with the suffix Yud. The Navi says, I want to overpower my agony, but I cannot.

4.

Malbim: The nation says, now I see that agony is overpowering me.

2)

Why did he say "Alai Libi Davai"?

1.

Rashi: My heart is faint over the Nevu'os revealed to me of coming punishments.

2.

Radak: My affliction is greater than that of Yisrael, for I rebuke them and they do not heed me. This is why it says "Alai".

3.

Malbim: I thought that there is hope, because I am like a Choleh; the illness affects his heart, and he does not feel his illness at all. This shows that the he lost his senses, and the illness reached his Nefesh!
