New King James Version

Psalms 38:5-11 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. My wounds are foul and festeringBecause of my foolishness.

6. I am troubled, I am bowed down greatly;I go mourning all the day long.

7. For my loins are full of inflammation,And there is no soundness in my flesh.

8. I am feeble and severely broken;I groan because of the turmoil of my heart.

9. Lord, all my desire is before You;And my sighing is not hidden from You.

10. My heart pants, my strength fails me;As for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me.

11. My loved ones and my friends stand aloof from my plague,And my relatives stand afar off.
