7. My back is filled with searing pain;there is no health in my body.
8. I am feeble and utterly crushed;I groan in anguish of heart.
9. All my longings lie open before you, Lord:my sighing is not hidden from you.
10. My heart pounds, my strength fails me;even the light has gone from my eyes.
11. My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;my neighbours stay far away.
12. Those who want to kill me set their traps,those who would harm me talk of my ruin;all day long they scheme and lie.
13. I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,like the mute, who cannot speak;
14. I have become like one who does not hear,whose mouth can offer no reply.
15. Lord, I wait for you;you will answer, Lord my God.
16. For I said, ‘Do not let them gloator exalt themselves over me when my feet slip.’
17. For I am about to fall,and my pain is ever with me.
18. I confess my iniquity;I am troubled by my sin.
