Psalm 55:4

4 O meu coração confrange-se dentro de mim, e terrores de morte sobre mim caíram.

Psalm 55:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 55:4

My heart is sore pained within me
At the civil war in his kingdom; at the battle likely to ensue between his forces and Absalom's, and at the issue of it; see ( Jeremiah 4:19 ) ; this was true of Christ in the garden, when his soul was exceeding sorrowful unto death, and he was in pain, as a woman in travail, as the word ^F17 here used signifies; and on the cross, when his heart, like wax, melted in the midst of his bowels;

and the terrors of death are fallen upon me;
see ( 2 Samuel 15:14 ) ; thus it was with the human nature of Christ, when he desired, if possible, the cup might pass from him.

Psalm 55:4 In-Context

2 Atende-me, e ouve-me; agitado estou, e ando perplexo,

3 por causa do clamor do inimigo e da opressão do ímpio; pois lançam sobre mim iniqüidade, e com furor me perseguem.

4 O meu coração confrange-se dentro de mim, e terrores de morte sobre mim caíram.

5 Temor e tremor me sobrevêm, e o horror me envolveu.

6 Pelo que eu disse: Ah! quem me dera asas como de pomba! então voaria, e encontraria descanso.
