2
For Your (A)arrows have sunk deep into me,
And (B)Your hand has pressed down on me.
3
There is (C)no soundness in my flesh (D)because of Your indignation;
There is no health (E)in my bones because of my sin.
4
For my (F)iniquities are gone over my head;
As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.
5
My (a)wounds grow foul and fester
Because of (G)my folly.
6
I am bent over and (H)greatly bowed down;
I (I)go mourning all day long.
7
For my loins are filled with (J)burning,
And there is (K)no soundness in my flesh.
8
I am (L)benumbed and (b)badly crushed;
I (c)(M)groan because of the (d)agitation of my heart.
