4I'm drowning in guilt—the burden is too heavy to bear.
5My wounds are infected—they're smelling—all because of my stupidity.
6I am bent over, doubled up in pain. The whole day I walk around crying my eyes out.
7Inside I'm burning up with fever; no part of my body is healthy.
8I'm worn out, totally down. I groan because of the anguish I feel in my heart.
9Lord, you know what I desperately want, you hear every sigh I make.
10My heart is racing, leaving me with no strength; my eyesight is failing.
11My loved ones and my friends don't come near me because they're afraid of what I've got. Even my family keeps me at a distance.
12Those who are trying to kill me set traps for me; those who want to hurt me make threats against me, working on their deceitful schemes all day long.
