Psalm 55:4

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

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 Está atento, y respóndeme; clamo en mi oración, y me conmuevo,

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 han caído sobre mí.

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.
