Psalm 119:28 - My soul is weary with sorrow

NIV My soul is weary with sorrow;
strengthen me according to your word.
KJV My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.
NASBMy soul weeps because of grief;
Strengthen me according to Your word.
Psalm 119:28

Commentary

How do we handle depression? Much of our advertising and media bombard us with images of happy people. This can become the unspoken "ideal life". So when we encounter emotions that may contradict this imagery we find ourselves unprepared. But the Scripture sees sorrow as a part of the human condition. Many of the Psalms deal with feelings of overwhelming depression. And as the Bible addresses these feelings we find that it gives us the guide to navigate through sorrow - the promises of Scripture itself. God's word assures us in our sorrow and gives us lighthouses of hope to help us navigate through the dark moments of our soul.
