Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me,.... Covered over with grief, borne down with sorrow, ready to sink and fail;

:-;

my heart within me is desolate; destitute of the spirit and presence of God, and with respect to the exercise of grace, and filled with fears and misgivings; or "astonished" u, at the providence he was under, like one stunned and filled with sore amazement, not knowing what to make of things, or what the issue of them would be; so David's antitype was "sore amazed" in the garden, when his troubles and agonies came upon him, Mark 14:33.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 143:4. Therefore is my spirit — I am deeply depressed in spirit, and greatly afflicted in body.

My heart within me is desolate. — It has no companion of its sorrows, no sympathetic friend. I am utterly destitute of comfort.
