Psalm 38:4-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

4. For my iniquities have gone over my head;like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

5. My wounds stink and festerbecause of my foolishness,

6. I am utterly bowed down and prostrate;all the day I go about mourning.

7. For my sides are filled with burning,and there is no soundness in my flesh.

8. I am feeble and crushed;I groan because of the tumult of my heart.

9. O Lord, all my longing is before you;my sighing is not hidden from you.

10. My heart throbs; my strength fails me,and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.

11. My friends and companions stand aloof from my plague,and my nearest kin stand far off.
