Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled.
When my spirit faints within me, you know my way! In the path where I walk they have hidden a trap for me.
When I remember God, I moan; when I meditate, my spirit faints. Selah
And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
then the flood would have swept us away, the torrent would have gone over us;
My soul longs for your salvation; I hope in your word. My eyes long for your promise; I ask, “When will you comfort me?” For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, yet I have not forgotten your statutes.
For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace. My heart is struck down like grass and has withered; I forget to eat my bread.
A Prayer of one afflicted, when he is faint and pours out his complaint before the Lord. Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry come to you!
from the end of the earth I call to you when my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I,
Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me.
Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am lonely and afflicted.
You would even cast lots over the fatherless, and bargain over your friend.
