New International Version Anglicized

Psalm 38:3-15 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

3. Because of your wrath there is no health in my body;there is no soundness in my bones because of my sin.

4. My guilt has overwhelmed melike a burden too heavy to bear.

5. My wounds fester and are loathsomebecause of my sinful folly.

6. I am bowed down and brought very low;all day long I go about mourning.

7. My back is filled with searing pain;there is no health in my body.

8. I am feeble and utterly crushed;I groan in anguish of heart.

9. All my longings lie open before you, Lord:my sighing is not hidden from you.

10. My heart pounds, my strength fails me;even the light has gone from my eyes.

11. My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;my neighbours stay far away.

12. Those who want to kill me set their traps,those who would harm me talk of my ruin;all day long they scheme and lie.

13. I am like the deaf, who cannot hear,like the mute, who cannot speak;

14. I have become like one who does not hear,whose mouth can offer no reply.

15. Lord, I wait for you;you will answer, Lord my God.
