"I prayed with my arms extended"
My soul refused to be comforted
The "soul" represents the person. This can be stated in active form. AT: "I would not allow anyone to try to comfort me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive)

These two phrases share similar meanings and are combined for emphasis. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
as I grew faint
"as my spirit grew faint" or "as my spirit was overwhelmed"
Selah
This may be a musical term that tells people how to sing or play their instruments here. Some translations write the Hebrew word, and some translations do not include it. See how you translated this in Psalms 3:2. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-transliterate)
