International Children’s Bible

Psalms 38:4-11 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

4. My guilt has overwhelmed me.Like a load it weighs me down.

5. My sores stink and become infectedbecause I was foolish.

6. I am bent over and bowed down.I am sad all day long.

7. I am burning with fever.My whole body is sore.

8. I am weak and faint.I moan from the pain I feel.

9. Lord, you know everything I want.My cries are not hidden from you.

10. My heart pounds, and my strength is gone.I am losing my sight.

11. Because of my wounds, my friends and neighbors leave me alone.My relatives stay far away.
