³ There is no soundness in my flesh
Because of Your anger,
Nor any health in my bones
Because of my sin.

^5 (A)Why should you be stricken again?
You will revolt more and more.
The whole head is sick,
And the whole heart faints.
⁶ From the sole of the foot even to the head,
There is no soundness in it,
But wounds and bruises and putrefying sores;
They have not been closed or bound up,
Or soothed with ointment.

⁴⁰ Let us search out and examine our ways,
And turn back to the Lord;
^41 (A)Let us lift our hearts and hands
To God in heaven.
^42 (B)We have transgressed and rebelled;
You have not pardoned.

³ For my days ^[a]are ^(A)consumed like smoke,
And my bones are burned like a hearth.

⁷ For we have been consumed by Your anger,
And by Your wrath we are terrified.
^8 (A)You have set our iniquities before You,
Our ^(B)secret sins in the light of Your countenance.

⁹ Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble;
^(A)My eye wastes away with grief,
Yes, my soul and my ^[a]body!
¹⁰ For my life is spent with grief,
And my years with sighing;
My strength fails because of my iniquity,
And my bones waste away.
