⁹ Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am ^(A)in distress;
    ^(B)my eye is wasted from grief;
    my soul and my body also.
¹⁰ For my life is spent with sorrow,
    and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my iniquity,
    and ^(C)my bones waste away.

³ For when I kept silent, my ^(A)bones wasted away
    through my ^(B)groaning all day long.
⁴ For day and night your ^(C)hand was heavy upon me;
    my strength was dried up^[a] as by the heat of summer. Selah

⁵ I ^(D)acknowledged my sin to you,
    and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I ^(E)will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
    and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

³ There is ^(A)no soundness in my flesh
    because of your indignation;
there is no health in my ^(B)bones
    because of my sin.
⁴ For my ^(C)iniquities have gone over my head;
    like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

¹⁷ For I am ^(A)ready to fall,
    and my pain is ever before me.
¹⁸ I ^(B)confess my iniquity;
    I am ^(C)sorry for my sin.
¹⁹ But my foes are vigorous, they are mighty,
    and many are those who hate me ^(D)wrongfully.
²⁰ Those who ^(E)render me evil for good
    ^(F)accuse me because I ^(G)follow after good.
