Psalms 143:3,4 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Jesus might yet thus complain, because when he stood forth in our stead, he felt all that it was our due to have felt, had he not interposed. The temptations of Satan were harassing to his holy soul, so that his spirit was overwhelmed. And above all, the Father's desertion, though but for a season, bore hard upon the Lamb of God. Psalms 22:1.

Psalms 143:3-4

3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul; he hath smitten my life down to the ground; he hath made me to dwell in darkness, as those that have been long dead.

4 Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.
