5. My wounds fester and are loathsome because 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 neighbors 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.
