Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 143 of Psalms. Psalm 143 combines confession of human inability with a request for guidance and deliverance. The psalmist knows that no human being can be declared righteous before God and therefore asks the Lord not to enter into judgment with him. Memory of ancient works directs the prayer toward the future: knowing God’s way, receiving his Spirit, and being led on level ground. Deliverance from enemies is integrated within a deeper request for obedience.

Und mein Geist ist in mir geängstet; mein Herz ist mir in meinem Leibe verzehrt.
Y mi espíritu se angustió dentro de mí; Pasmose mi corazón.
Mi espíritu desfallece dentro de mí; en mi interior mi corazón está consternado.
Mon esprit est abattu au dedans de moi, Mon coeur est troublé dans mon sein.
E lo spirito mio spasima in me; Il mio cuore è tutto smarrito dentro di me.
Pois que o meu espírito se angustia em mim; e o meu coração em mim está desolado.
我的靈在我裏面發昏, 我的心在我裏面顫慄。
