2 Thine arrows sharp stick fast in me, And me thy hand doth [sorely] press:
3 Because of thy deserved wrath, My flesh hath no [health and] soundness. My pained bones have little rest, For [the great] sins that I have done:
4 My manifold iniquities Over my [guilty] head are gone. They as a weighty burden be Too heavy for [my soul] to bear:
5 And for my foolishness my wounds [And sores] stink and corrupted are.
6 Trouble doth greatly bow me down; All [the] day [long] I mourning go.
