5. My wounds stink and are 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 roared 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 imagine 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 LORD, 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 halt, and my sorrow is continually before me.
18. For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
19. But mine enemies are lively, and are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20. They also that render evil for good are adversaries unto me, because I follow the thing that is good.
21. Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
22. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
