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.
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.
Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror overwhelms me.
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.
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,
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.
