Midrasch zu Tehillim 38:11
לִבִּ֣י סְ֭חַרְחַר עֲזָבַ֣נִי כֹחִ֑י וְֽאוֹר־עֵינַ֥י גַּם־הֵ֝֗ם אֵ֣ין אִתִּֽי׃
Mein Herz ist ruhelos, meine Kraft verlässt mich, und auch meiner Augen Licht ist mir nicht geblieben.
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
Three things cause to reduce the strength of man: fear, travel and sin. Fear, as it is written (Ps. 38, 11) My heart fluttereth, my strength faileth me; travel, as it is written (Ib. 102, 24) He hath shortened my days; Sin, as it is written (Ib, 31, 11) My strength faileth me because of mine iniquity.
