You don't need sshpass if you have the private key matching the

This would be for use in a script - I'm assuming someone would use it as
part of an automated backup script or when it's not possible to be at the
keyboard to enter that passphrase.
I usually make a special purpose keypair with no passphrase for this,
with a distinctive filename, eg .ssh/id_dsa_backups and its .pub
partner. You can lock down the authorized_keys file at the far end to
constrain its use, too.
Remember "expect"? It sounds reminiscent of that from the 90s.
Ugh.
