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.
12. (13) They also that seek after my nefesh lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak of ruin, and plot mirmot (deceptions, deceits) all the day long.
13. (14) But I, like a cheresh (deaf man), heard not; and I was like a mute that openeth not his mouth.
14. (15) Thus I was like an ish that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no tokhachot (reproofs).
15. (16) For I wait for Thee, Hashem; Thou wilt hear, Adonoi Elohai.
16. (17) For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should gloat over me; when my regel slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17. (18) For I am ready to fall, and my sorrow is before me tamid.
18. (19) For I will declare mine avon; I will be in anguish over my chattat.
19. (20) But mine oveyim are chayyim (vigorous), and they are strong; and they that hate me sheker (wrongfully) are multiplied.
20. (21) They also that repay ra'ah for tovah are mine adversaries; because I pursue the thing that is tov.
