For thine arrows{H2671} stick fast{H5181} in me, And thy hand{H3027} presseth me sore.{H5181}

Verse 3

There is no soundness{H4974} in my flesh{H1320} because{H6440} of thine indignation;{H2195} Neither is there any health{H7965} in my bones{H6106} because{H6440} of my sin.{H2403}

Verse 4

For mine iniquities{H5771} are gone over{H5674} my head:{H7218} As a heavy{H3515} burden{H4853} they are too heavy{H3513} for me.

Verse 5

My wounds{H2250} are loathsome{H887} and corrupt,{H4743} Because{H6440} of my foolishness.{H200}

Verse 7

For my loins{H3689} are filled{H4390} with burning;{H7033} And there is no soundness{H4974} in my flesh.{H1320}

Verse 8

I am faint{H6313} and sore{H3966} bruised:{H1794} I have groaned{H7580} by reason of the disquietness{H5100} of my heart.{H3820}

Verse 9

Lord,{H136} all my desire{H8378} is before thee; And my groaning{H585} is not hid{H5641} from thee.

Verse 10

My heart{H3820} throbbeth,{H5503} my strength{H3581} faileth{H5800} me: As for the light{H216} of mine eyes,{H5869} it{H1992} also is gone{H369} from me.

Verse 11

My lovers{H157} and my friends{H7453} stand{H5975} aloof from{H5048} my plague;{H5061} And my kinsmen{H7138} stand{H5975} afar off.{H7350}

Verse 12

They also that seek{H1245} after my life{H5315} lay snares{H5367} [for me]; And they that seek{H1875} my hurt{H7451} speak{H1696} mischievous things,{H1942} And meditate{H1897} deceits{H4820} all the day{H3117} long.

Verse 13

But I, as a deaf{H2795} man, hear{H8085} not; And I am as a dumb man{H483} that openeth{H6605} not his mouth.{H6310}

Verse 14

Yea, I am as a man{H376} that heareth{H8085} not, And in whose mouth{H6310} are no reproofs.{H8433}

For I am ready{H3559} to fall,{H6761} And my sorrow{H4341} is continually{H8548} before me.

Verse 20

They also that render{H7999} evil{H7451} for good{H2896} Are adversaries{H7853} unto me, because I follow{H7291} the thing that is good.{H2896}
