3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
4. For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5. My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.
6. I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7. For my loins are filled with burning; And there is no soundness in my flesh.
8. I am faint and sore bruised: I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9. Lord, all my desire is before thee; And my groaning is not hid from thee.
10. My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague; And my kinsmen stand afar off.
12. They also that seek after my life lay snares for me; And they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, And meditate deceits all the day long.
13. But I, as a deaf man, hear not; And I am as a dumb man that openeth not his mouth.
14. Yea, I am as a man that heareth not, And in whose mouth are no reproofs.
15. For in thee, O Jehovah, do I hope: Thou wilt answer, O Lord my God.
16. For I said, Lest they rejoice over me: When my foot slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17. For I am ready to fall, And my sorrow is continually before me.
18. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
