Be gracious to me, O Yahweh, for (A)I am in distress;
My (B)eye is wasted away from grief, (C)my soul and [a]my body also.
10 For my life is worn down with (D)sorrow
And my years with sighing;
My (E)strength fails because of my iniquity,
And (F)my bones waste away.

  1. Psalm 31:9 Lit womb, stomach

For Your (A)arrows have pressed deep into me,
And (B)Your hand has pressed down upon me.
There is (C)no soundness in my flesh (D)because of Your indignation;
There is no health (E)in my bones because of my sin.
For my (F)iniquities go over my head;
As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
My [a]wounds stink and rot
Because of (G)my [b]folly.
I am bent over and (H)greatly bowed down;
I (I)go mourning all day long.
For my loins are filled with (J)burning,
And there is (K)no soundness in my flesh.
I am (L)faint and [c]badly crushed;
I [d](M)groan because of the [e]agitation of my heart.

For my days (A)have [a]vanished in smoke,
And my (B)bones have been scorched like a hearth.
My heart (C)has been stricken like [b]grass and it has (D)dried up,
Indeed, I (E)forget to eat my bread.
Because of the sound of my groaning
My (F)bones [c]cling to my flesh.
