For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

For my loins were filled with inflammation, and no soundness in my flesh.

My heart throbbeth, my strength hath left me; and the light of mine eyes, it also is no more with me.

Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no reproofs.

I was mute and silent [before my enemies],
I refrained even from good,
And my distress grew worse.

LORD, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.

You have made my days no longer than a hand's measure; and my years are nothing in your eyes; truly, every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

Surely a man walks about as a [mere] {shadow}; surely in vain they bustle about. He heaps up [possessions] but does not know who [will] gather them [in].

O spare me, that I may recover strength, before I go hence, and be no more.

As You know, O Lord.

You sell Your people for nothing;
You make no profit from selling them.

no, not when thou hast smitten us into the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death

We are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.

Why is your face covered, and why do you give no thought to our trouble and our cruel fate?

Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God.

There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them.

For strangers rise up against me,
and violent men seek my life.
They have no regard for God.Selah

Now it is not an enemy who insults me—
otherwise I could bear it;
it is not a foe who rises up against me—
otherwise I could hide from him.

God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

A banner that may be displayed because of the truth. Selah.

Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.

Give us help against the enemy,
For the help of man is worthless (ineffectual, without purpose).

O God, You know my folly;
My wrongs are not hidden from You.

but there was none;
for comforters, but found no one.

For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.
