Because of your wrath there is no health(A) in my body;
    there is no soundness in my bones(B) because of my sin.
My guilt has overwhelmed(C) me
    like a burden too heavy to bear.(D)

My wounds(E) fester and are loathsome(F)
    because of my sinful folly.(G)
I am bowed down(H) and brought very low;
    all day long I go about mourning.(I)
My back is filled with searing pain;(J)
    there is no health(K) in my body.
I am feeble and utterly crushed;(L)
    I groan(M) in anguish of heart.(N)

All my longings(O) lie open before you, Lord;
    my sighing(P) is not hidden from you.
10 My heart pounds,(Q) my strength fails(R) me;
    even the light has gone from my eyes.(S)

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

10 My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
