For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.
For my sighing comes before I eat, and my groaning pours forth like the waters.
How long must I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? How long will my enemy be exalted over me?
Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice! Be gracious to me and answer me!
There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your indignation, nor is there health in my bones because of my sin.
When with rebukes You correct man for sin, You consume like a moth what is precious to him; surely every man is mere vapor. Selah
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity; for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
Cast me not away in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength fails.
Therefore their days did He consume like a breath, and their years in terror.
Afflicted and close to death since my youth, I suffer Your terrors; I am helpless.
that I have great sorrow and continual anguish in my heart.
