"I was silenced, and I did not open my mouth, because it was you who acted. "
— Psalms 38:10, Catholic Public Domain Version
“My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.”
“My heart throbbeth, my strength faileth me: As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me. ”
“My heart throbs. My strength fails me. As for the light of my eyes, it has also left me.”
“My heart beats quickly; my strength leaves me; I can hardly see.”
“I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it.”
“My heart goes out in pain, my strength is wasting away; as for the light of my eyes, it is gone from me.”
“My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.”
So then, truly man passes by like an image; even so, he is disquieted in vain. He stores up, and he knows not for whom he will gather these things.
And now, what is it that awaits me? Is it not the Lord? And my substance is with you.
Rescue me from all my iniquities. You have handed me over as a reproach to the foolish.
I was silenced, and I did not open my mouth, because it was you who acted.
Remove your scourges from me.
I fall short at corrections from the strength of your hand. For you have chastised man for iniquity. And you have made his soul shrink away like a spider. Nevertheless, it is in vain that any man be disquieted.
O Lord, heed my prayer and my supplication. Pay attention to my tears. Do not be silent. For I am a newcomer with you, and a sojourner, just as all my fathers were.
