The words I had fainted are not in the original text.  The translators added them to hopefully bring clarity.  But it seems like David was saying I don't know what I would have done unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in his lifetime.  Fainted in other places in the Bible means overwhelmed.  I heard Dr. Dollar define it as to cave in, to give up, to throw in the towel, or to quit.  So have you ever been to that place where you would have fainted?

Recently as of this past week, a young man in California committed suicide and it made national news.  It is a tragedy in and of itself but they also remarked about the timing of it.  If you have ever felt overwhelmed by something then I need you to hear me today.  There are some storms in life that can come against so severely that they can make you want to quit.
