Psalm 38:8

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

I am utterly spent and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.

See the chapter Copy

While I kept silent, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long.

For my sighing comes like my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water.

I go about in sunless gloom; I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.

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

My inward parts are in turmoil and are never still; days of affliction come to meet me.
