Psalm 38:8

New English Translation

I am numb with pain and severely battered; I groan loudly because of the anxiety I feel.

See the chapter Copy

For my sighing comes in place of my food, and my groanings flow forth like water.

My heart is in turmoil unceasingly; the days of my affliction confront me.

I go about blackened, but not by the sun; in the assembly I stand up and cry for help.

When I refused to confess my sin, my whole body wasted away, while I groaned in pain all day long.

We all growl like bears, we coo mournfully like doves; we wait for deliverance, but there is none, for salvation, but it is far from us.
