Psalms 38:8,10 - Compare All Versions

Share

I am feeble and utterly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

My heart pounds, my strength fails me; even the light has gone from my eyes.

I am feeble and crushed; I groan because of the tumult of my heart.

My heart throbs; my strength fails me, and the light of my eyes—it also has gone from me.

I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart.

My heart beats wildly, my strength fails, and I am going blind.

I am faint and severely crushed; I groan because of the anguish of my heart.

My heart races, my strength leaves me, and even the light of my eyes has faded. 

I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

I am feeble and severely broken; I groan because of the turmoil of my heart.

My heart pants, my strength fails me; As for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me.

The cuts in my flesh stink and grow maggots because I’ve lived so badly. And now I’m flat on my face feeling sorry for myself morning to night. All my insides are on fire, my body is a wreck. I’m on my last legs; I’ve had it— my life is a vomit of groans.

Lord, my longings are sitting in plain sight, my groans an old story to you. My heart’s about to break; I’m a burned-out case. Cataracts blind me to God and good; old friends avoid me like the plague. My cousins never visit, my neighbors stab me in the back. My competitors blacken my name, devoutly they pray for my ruin. But I’m deaf and mute to it all, ears shut, mouth shut. I don’t hear a word they say, don’t speak a word in response. What I do, GOD, is wait for you, wait for my Lord, my God—you will answer! I wait and pray so they won’t laugh me off, won’t smugly strut off when I stumble.

I feel faint and badly crushed; I groan because of the agitation of my heart.

My heart throbs, my strength fails me; And the light of my eyes, even that has gone from me.

I am numb and greatly bruised [deadly cold and completely worn out]; I groan because of the disquiet and moaning of my heart.

My heart throbs violently, my strength fails me; And as for the light of my eyes, even that has also gone from me.

I am numb with pain and severely battered; I groan loudly because of the anxiety I feel.

My heart beats quickly; my strength leaves me; I can hardly see.
