Psalm 38:2-8

New International Version

²Your arrows^(A) have pierced me,
    and your hand has come down on me.
³Because of your wrath there is no health^(B) in my body;
    there is no soundness in my bones^(C) because of my sin.
⁴My guilt has overwhelmed^(D) me
    like a burden too heavy to bear.^(E)

⁵My wounds^(F) fester and are loathsome^(G)
    because of my sinful folly.^(H)
⁶I am bowed down^(I) and brought very low;
    all day long I go about mourning.^(J)
⁷My back is filled with searing pain;^(K)
    there is no health^(L) in my body.
⁸I am feeble and utterly crushed;^(M)
    I groan^(N) in anguish of heart.^(O)
