My life is ending in sadness, and my years are spent in crying. My troubles are using up my strength, and my bones are getting weaker.
I make sad sounds as I eat; my groans pour out like water.
How long must I worry and feel sad in my heart all day? How long will my enemy win over me?
Lord, hear me when I call; have mercy and answer me.
My body is sick from your punishment. Even my bones are not healthy because of my sin.
You correct and punish people for their sins; like a moth, you destroy what they love. Everyone’s life is only a breath.Selah
Get away from me, all you who do evil, because the Lord has heard my crying.
Do not reject me when I am old; do not leave me when my strength is gone.
So he ended their days without meaning and their years in terror.
I have been weak and dying since I was young. I suffer from your terrors, and I am helpless.
I have great sorrow and always feel much sadness.
