Psalm 77:3

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

"The arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; my spirit absorbs their poison; God's terrors have been arranged just for me!

That's why I'm terrified at his presence! When I think about it, I'm afraid of him.

For I'm terrified of what calamity God may have in store for me; and I cannot endure his grandeur."

Don't be a terror to me. You are my refuge in a day of trouble.

For my life is filled with troubles as I approach Sheol.

For my days are vanishing like smoke; my bones are charred as in a fireplace.

"In addition, I won't keep my opinion to myself; I'll speak from my distressed spirit; I'll complain with my bitter soul.

You have removed peace from my life; I have forgotten what prosperity is.

My heart is trembling within me, and the terrors of death have assaulted me.

From the end of the earth I will cry to you whenever my heart is overwhelmed. Place me on the rock that's too high for me.

I pour out my complaint to him, telling him all of my troubles.

As a result, my spirit is desolate within me, and my mind within me is appalled.

If I were to say, "Let me forget my complaint,' change the expression on my face, and look cheerful,

That's why I'm terrified at his presence! When I think about it, I'm afraid of him.

The troubles of my heart have increased; bring me out of my distress!
