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