Psalms 77:3

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed. Selah" — Psalms 77:3 (ASV)

I remembered. — A better rendering:

“If I remember God I must sigh;
I meditate, and my spirit faints.”

Or,

“Let me remember God, and sigh;
I must complain, and my spirit faints.”

The word translated as overwhelmed (Psalms 143:4) properly means covers itself up. In Psalm 107:5 it is translated as fainted.
