From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

My soul is also sore vexed -The word “soul” here is used in the sense in which it is commonly with us, as denoting the mind. The idea is, that his sorrows were not merely those of the bodily frame. They had a deeper seat than even the bones. His mind, his soul, was full of anguish also, in view of the circumstances which surrounded him, and which had brought on these bodily afflictions. But thou, O Lord -This is a broken sentence, as if he had commenced an address to God, but did not complete it.
