For my life is spent with grief, And my years with sighing: My strength faileth because of mine iniquity, And my bones are consumed.
I am afflicted and ready to die From my youth up: While I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; Neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in trouble.
When thou with rebukes dost correct man for iniquity, Thou makest his beauty to consume away like a moth: Surely every man is vanity. Selah.
How long shall I take counsel in my soul, Having sorrow in my heart daily? How long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?
For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my roarings are poured out like the waters.
Cast me not off in the time of old age; Forsake me not when my strength faileth.
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; For the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping.
Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
