Exegesis
The conjunction uleshoni {וּלְשׁוֹנִי | û-lə-šō-nî} ‘and my tongue’ introduces the parallel Pual participle mudbak {מֻדְבָּק | muḏ-bā-q} ‘is stuck’, illustrating passive adherence to malkochai {מַלְקוֹחָי | mal-qō-ḥāy} ‘my jaws’.
In context — Psalm 22:15
My strength is dried up like a potsherd , and my tongue is stuck to my jaws; and You set me in the dust of death.
