Psalm 55:4

Listen to Psalm 55:4
4 Mein Herz ängstigte sich in meinem Innern, und Todesschrecken haben mich befallen.

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 Horche auf mich und antworte mir! Ich irre umher in meiner Klage und muß stöhnen
3 vor der Stimme des Feindes, vor der Bedrückung des Gesetzlosen; denn sie wälzen Unheil auf mich, und im Zorn feinden sie mich an.
4 Mein Herz ängstigte sich in meinem Innern, und Todesschrecken haben mich befallen.
5 Furcht und Zittern kamen mich an, und Schauder bedeckte mich.
6 Und ich sprach: O daß ich Flügel hätte wie die Taube! Ich wollte hinfliegen und ruhen.
