Psalms 38:2-8
Your arrows have struck deep, and your blows are crushing me.Because of your anger, my whole body is sick; my health is broken because of my sins.My guilt overwhelms me— it is a burden too heavy to bear.My wounds fester and stink because of my foolish sins.I am bent over and racked with pain. All day long I walk around filled with grief.A raging fever burns within me, and my health is broken.I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart.
