Psalms 37:2-13

²For your weapons are fixed in me, and you have pressed your hand heavily upon me.

³For there is no health in my flesh because of your anger; there is no peace to my bones because of my sins.

⁴For my transgressions have gone over my head: they have pressed heavily upon me like a weighty burden.

⁵My bruises have become noisome and corrupt, because of my foolishness.

⁶I have been wretched and bowed down continually: I went with a mourning countenance all the day.

⁷For my soul is filled with mockings; and there is no health in my flesh.

⁸I have been afflicted and brought down exceedingly: I have roared for the groaning of my heart.

⁹But all my desire is before you; and my groaning is not hidden from you.

¹⁰My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me; and the light of my eyes is not with me.

¹¹My friends and my neighbors drew near before me, and stood still; and my nearest of kin stood afar off.

¹²While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: and they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, and devised deceits all the day.

¹³But I, as a deaf man, heard not; and was as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
