Salmos 143:4

4 Y mi espíritu se angustió dentro de mí; Pasmóse mi corazón.

Salmos 143:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 143:4

Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me
Covered over with grief, borne down with sorrow, ready to sink and fail; (See Gill on Psalms 142:3);

my heart within me is desolate;
destitute of the spirit and presence of God, and with respect to the exercise of grace, and filled with fears and misgivings; or "astonished" F21, at the providence he was under, like one stunned and filled with sore amazement, not knowing what to make of things, or what the issue of them would be; so David's antitype was "sore amazed" in the garden, when his troubles and agonies came upon him, ( Mark 14:33 ) .

Salmos 143:4 In-Context

2 Y no entres en juicio con tu siervo; Porque no se justificará delante de ti ningún viviente.
3 Porque ha perseguido el enemigo mi alma; Ha postrado en tierra mi vida; Hame hecho habitar en tinieblas como los ya muertos.
4 Y mi espíritu se angustió dentro de mí; Pasmóse mi corazón.
5 Acordéme de los días antiguos; Meditaba en todas tus obras, Reflexionaba en las obras de tus manos.
6 Extendí mis manos á ti; Mi alma á ti como la tierra sedienta. (Selah.)
