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.
Psalms 37
Psalms 37:5-9
