Psalms 80:5

Thou hast fed them with bread of tears,

And given them tears to drink in large measure.

i.e. made tears their daily portion: cp. Psalms 42:3; Psalms 102:9. In large measure, lit. by the tierce, or third part of some larger measure, probably the bath(ephah, in dry measure), and if so containing nearly three gallons: a huge drinking goblet, though but a tiny measure for the dust of the earth, Isaiah 40:12, the only other place where the word occurs.

LXX, Syr., Jer., read usfor them.
