SEV Biblia, Chapter 77:3
Me acordaba de Dios, y gritaba; me quejaba, y desmayaba mi espíritu. (Selah.)
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 76:3
Verse 3. My spirit was overwhelmed. ] As the verb is in the hithpaeI conjugation, the word must mean my spirit was overpowered in itself. It purposed to involve itself in this calamity. I felt exquisitely for my poor suffering countrymen. "The generous mind is not confined at home; It spreads itself abroad through all the public, And feels for every member of the land."
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - Days of trouble must be days of prayer; when God seems to have withdrawn from us, we must seek him till we find him. In the day of his trouble the psalmist did not seek for the diversion of business of amusement, but he sought God, and his favor and grace. Those that ar under trouble of mind, must pray it away. He pored upon the trouble the methods that should have relieved him did but increase his grief When he remembered God, it was only the Divine justice and wrath. Hi spirit was overwhelmed, and sank under the load. But let not the remembrance of the comforts we have lost, make us unthankful for thos that are left. Particularly he called to remembrance the comforts with which he supported himself in former sorrows. Here is the language of sorrowful, deserted soul, walking in darkness; a common case even amon those that fear the Lord, Isa 50:10. Nothing wounds and pierces lik the thought of God's being angry. God's own people, in a cloudy an dark day, may be tempted to make wrong conclusions about their spiritual state, and that of God's kingdom in the world. But we mus not give way to such fears. Let faith answer them from the Scripture The troubled fountain will work itself clear again; and the recollection of former times of joyful experience often raises a hope tending to relief. Doubts and fears proceed from the want and weaknes of faith. Despondency and distrust under affliction, are too often the infirmities of believers, and, as such, are to be thought upon by u with sorrow and shame. When, unbelief is working in us, we must thu suppress its risings.
