Psalm 38:6–12

Psalm 38:6–122 matched frames1 pivot

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 6-7 I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning ALL THE DAY LONG. For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.
- B 8 I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of MY HEART.
  - C 9 Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
- B' 10 MY HEART panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
A' 11-12 My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off. They also that seek after my life lay snares for me: and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits ALL THE DAY LONG.
