For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away.
For my sighing comes as my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water.
How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud, be gracious to me and answer me!
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thy indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.
When thou dost chasten man with rebukes for sin, thou dost consume like a moth what is dear to him; surely every man is a mere breath! Selah
Depart from me, all you workers of evil; for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent.
So he made their days vanish like a breath, and their years in terror.
Afflicted and close to death from my youth up, I suffer thy terrors; I am helpless.
that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
