Psalm 38:1-11

Christian Standard Bible

³ There is no soundness in my body
because of your indignation;
there is no health^[a] in my bones
because of my sin.^(D)
4 For my iniquities have flooded over my head;
they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.^(E)
5 My wounds are foul and festering
because of my foolishness.^(F)
6 I am bent over and brought very low;
all day long I go around in mourning.^(G)
7 For my insides are full of burning pain,
and there is no soundness in my body.^(H)
8 I am faint and severely crushed;
I groan because of the anguish of my heart.^(I)

⁹ Lord, my every desire is in front of you;
my sighing is not hidden from you.^(J)
10 My heart races, my strength leaves me,
and even the light of my eyes has faded.^[b](K)
11 My loved ones and friends stand back from my affliction,
and my relatives stand at a distance.^(L)
