Allusion is supposed, by some, to be made to a custom of preserving the tears of mourners in a bottle and placing it in the sepulcher
(Psa. 56:88Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? (Psalm 56:8)). Others regard the words as a bold metaphor, expressive of David’s wish that God would keep in memory his many penitential tears, as the traveler stores his water, milk, or wine in leather bottles for a journey.
