For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.
Afflicted and close to death from my youth up, I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.[3]
There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation; there is no health in my bones because of my sin.
that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.
So he made their days vanish like[3] a breath,[4] and their years in terror.
When you discipline a man with rebukes for sin, you consume like a moth what is dear to him; surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah
How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
For my sighing comes instead of[1] my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent.
Depart from me, all you workers of evil, for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.
Hear, O LORD, when I cry aloud; be gracious to me and answer me!
