Psalm 77:3

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

For the arrows of the almighty are in me, whose indignation hath drunk up my spirit, and the terrible fears of God fight against me.

This is the cause, that I shrink at his presence, so that when I consider him I am afraid of him.

For I have ever feared the vengeance and punishment of God, and knew very well that I was not able to bear his burden.

Be not terrible unto me, LORD: for thou art my trust in the evil day.

For my soul is full of trouble, and my life draweth nigh unto hell.

For my days are consumed away like smoke, and my bones are burnt up as it were a firebrand.

Therefore I will not spare my mouth, but will speak in the trouble of my spirit; in that bitterness of my mind will I talk.

He hath put my soul out of rest; I forget all good things.

My heart is heavy within me, and the fear of death is fallen upon me.

From the ends of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is in heaviness. O set me up upon the rock that is higher than I;

I pour out my complaint before him, and show him of my trouble.

Therefore is my spirit vexed within me, and my heart within me is desolate.

When I am purposed to forget my complainings, to change my countenance, and to comfort myself;

This is the cause, that I shrink at his presence, so that when I consider him I am afraid of him.

The sorrows of my heart are enlarged: O bring thou me out of my troubles.
