Tehillim 38:3-11 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

3. (4) There is no health in my basar because of Thine anger; neither is there any shalom in my atzmot because of my chattat.

4. (5) For mine avonot (iniquities) are gone over mine head; as a weighty massa (burden) they are too heavy for me.

5. (6) My chaburot (wounds) are foul and festering because of my wicked folly.

6. (7) I am bent down; I am brought low ad me'od; I go about mourning all day long.

7. (8) For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no health in my basar.

8. (9) I am feeble and broken ad me'od; I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my lev.

9. (10) Adonoi, all my ta'avah (desire, longing) is before Thee; and my groaning is not hid from Thee.

10. (11) My lev panteth, my ko'ach faileth me; as for the ohr of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

11. (12) My loved ones and my re'a stand aloof from my nega [see Isa 53:8 on Moshiach's nega]; and my neighbors stand afar off.
