4So my spirit grows faint within me; my heart within me is dismayed.4Therefore my spirit faints within me; my heart within me is appalled.4Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me; My heart is appalled within me.4Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.4My spirit is weak within me; my heart is overcome with dismay.
