Salmos 55:4

4 Mi corazón está doloroso dentro de mí, Y terrores de muerte sobre mí han caído.

Salmos 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.

Salmos 55:4 In-Context

2 Estáme atento, y respóndeme: Clamo en mi oración, y levanto el grito,
3 A causa de la voz del enemigo, Por la opresión del impío; Porque echaron sobre mí iniquidad, Y con furor me han amenazado.
4 Mi corazón está doloroso dentro de mí, Y terrores de muerte sobre mí han caído.
5 Temor y temblor vinieron sobre mí, Y terror me ha cubierto.
6 Y dije: ¡Quién me diese alas como de paloma! Volaría yo, y descansaría.
