Psalm 31:10

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

So he made their days end in futility, and their years with sudden terror.

Since my youth I have been oppressed and in danger of death. I bear your dread and am overwhelmed.

For my days are vanishing like smoke; my bones are charred as in a fireplace.

"As far as I'm concerned, my food comes to me in the form of sighs, and my cries of anguish pour out like water.

I have deep sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart,

Don't throw me away when I am old; do not abandon me when my strength fails.

When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away by my groaning all day long.

For my days are vanishing like smoke; my bones are charred as in a fireplace.
