Exegesis
The perfect verb rippadti {רִפַּ֥דְתִּי | rippad-tî} ‘I have spread’ depicts completed preparation, and its direct object yetsuai {יְצוּעָֽי | yəṣûʿāy} ‘my couch’ completes the metaphor: he is arranging bedding not for recovery but for descent into death, with the clauses moving from destination (house) to action (making the bed) for emphasis.
