6 I am brought into so great trouble and misery: that I go mourning
all the day long.
7 For my loins are filled with a sore disease: and there is no
whole part in my body.
8 I am feeble, and sore smitten: I have roared for the very
disquietness of my heart.
9 Lord, thou knowest all my desire: and my groaning is not hid
from thee.
10 My heart panteth, my strength hath failed me: and the light of
mine eyes is gone from me.
11 My lovers and my neighbours did stand looking upon my trouble:
and my kinsmen stood afar off.
12 They also that sought after my life laid snares for me: and
they that went about to do me evil talked of wickedness, and
imagined deceit all the day long.
13 As for me, I was like a deaf man, and heard not: and as one
that is dumb, who doth not open his mouth.
14 I became even as a man that heareth not: and in whose mouth
are no reproofs.
15 For in thee, O Lord, have I put my trust: thou shalt answer for
me, O Lord my God.
161 have required that they, even mine enemies, should not triumph
over me: for when my foot slipped, they rejoiced greatly against me.
17 And I, truly, am set in the plague: and my heaviness is ever
in my sight.
