Psalms 38:4-7 in English

⁵ My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.

⁶ I am pained and bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

⁷ For my loins are filled with burning; And there is no soundness in my flesh.

⁴ My heart grew hot within me, and a fire would kindle in my meditation: I spoke with my tongue,

⁵ O Lord, make me to know mine end, and the number of my days, what it is; that I may know what I lack.

⁶ Behold, thou hast made my days old; and my existence is as nothing before thee: nay, every man living is altogether vanity. Pause.
