New Testament

Psalms 38:2-12 New Living Translation (NLT)

2. Your arrows have struck deep,and your blows are crushing me.

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 stinkbecause of my foolish sins.

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

7. A raging fever burns within me,and my health is broken.

8. I am exhausted and completely crushed.My groans come from an anguished heart.

9. You know what I long for, Lord;you hear my every sigh.

10. My heart beats wildly, my strength fails,and I am going blind.

11. My loved ones and friends stay away, fearing my disease.Even my own family stands at a distance.

12. Meanwhile, my enemies lay traps to kill me.Those who wish me harm make plans to ruin me.All day long they plan their treachery.
