5. My wounds are infected and starting to smell,because of my foolish sins.
6. I am dazed and completely humiliated;all day long I walk around mourning.
7. For I am overcome with shameand my whole body is sick.
8. I am numb with pain and severely battered;I groan loudly because of the anxiety I feel.
9. O Lord, you understand my heart’s desire;my groaning is not hidden from you.
10. My heart beats quickly;my strength leaves me;I can hardly see.
11. Because of my condition, even my friends and acquaintances keep their distance;my neighbors stand far away.
12. Those who seek my life try to entrap me;those who want to harm me speak destructive words;all day long they say deceitful things.
