Psalms 55:4
"My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

My heart is sore pained within me,.... At the civil war in his kingdom; at the battle likely to ensue between his forces and Absalom's, and at the issue of

it; see Jer 4:19 ; this was true of Christ in the garden, when his soul was exceeding sorrowful unto death, and he was in pain, as a woman in travail, as the word (q) here used signifies; and on the cross, when his heart, like wax, melted in the midst of his bowels; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me; see Sa2 15:14 ; thus it was with the human nature of Christ, when he desired, if possible, the cup might pass from him. (q) "operuit me", Pagninus, Montanus, Gejerus, Michaelis; "operit", Cocceius; "obtegit", Junius & Tremellius; "obtexit", Piscator; so Ainsworth.
