An image from textile production used by Hezekiah in his psalm of recovery. Like a weaver cutting finished cloth from the loom and rolling it up, Hezekiah says God (or he himself) has rolled up his life, bringing it to an end. The metaphor powerfully captures mortality's finality - when the weaver cuts the web, that life-thread is finished. The verb suggests gathering or bundling, the decisive action ending one phase. Hezekiah wrote this during mortal illness before God granted fifteen more years, so the image reflects his sense that his life's pattern was complete and ready to be cut from the loom.
