New Testament

Psalms 38:2-13 World English Bible (WEB)

2. For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.

3. There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

4. For my iniquities have 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 day long.

7. For my waist is filled with burning. There is no soundness in my flesh.

8. I am faint and severely bruised. I have groaned by reason of the anguish of my heart.

9. Lord, all my desire is before you. My groaning is not hidden from you.

10. My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.

11. My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my plague. My kinsmen stand far away.

12. They also who seek after my life lay snares. Those who seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and meditate deceits all day long.

13. But I, as a deaf man, don’t hear. I am as a mute man who doesn’t open his mouth.
