What do we learn from "v'Libi Chalal b'Kirbi"?

1.

Brachos 61b: Tzadikim are ruled by their Yetzer Tov. (Rashi 61b - David said, it is as if I have no Yetzer ha'Ra, for I can overcome it.)

2.

Bava Basra 17a: The Yetzer ha'Ra did not rule over him 1 , just like it did not rule over the Avos.

3.

Shocher Tov: Sin makes the Nefesh like a Chalal (Mes).

4.

Radak: My heart was killed inside me amidst my great afflictions.

5.

Malbim: Above (16), it says that they chased "Oni v'Evyon v'Nich'e Levav." David says, I am Oni v'Evyon, and v'Nich'e Levav, for my heart is hollow inside me.
