Ps 109:22 | King James | For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
For I am poor and needy - I am helpless and dependent. I am in a condition where I need thy gracious interposition. And my heart is wounded within me - I am as one that is prostrated by a weapon - as if my heart had been pierced. I have no courage, no strength. I am like one who lies wounded on a battlefield. |
