Notes on the Whole Bible
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · 19th-century historical commentary
Source: BibleWord.ai's local reference edition of this named work.
Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me - See the notes at Psalms 77:3. Compare Psalms 42:5-7. His spirit was broken and crushed. He was in a state of despair as to any human help. My heart within me is desolate - I have no comfort; no cheerfulness; no hope. My soul is like the waste desert where there is no water; where nothing grows; where there are only rocks and sands. return to 'Top of Page'
