New Living Translation
3 Because of your anger, my whole body is sick;
my health is broken because of my sins.
4 My guilt overwhelms me—
it is a burden too heavy to bear.
5 My wounds fester and stink

6 I am bent over and racked with pain.
All day long I walk around filled with grief.

and my health is broken.
