My guilt has overwhelmed(A) me
    like a burden too heavy to bear.(B)

My wounds(C) fester and are loathsome(D)
    because of my sinful folly.(E)
I am bowed down(F) and brought very low;
    all day long I go about mourning.(G)
My back is filled with searing pain;(H)
    there is no health(I) in my body.
I am feeble and utterly crushed;(J)
    I groan(K) in anguish of heart.(L)

All my longings(M) lie open before you, Lord;
    my sighing(N) is not hidden from you.
10 My heart pounds,(O) my strength fails(P) me;
    even the light has gone from my eyes.(Q)
11 My friends and companions avoid me because of my wounds;(R)
    my neighbors stay far away.
