"For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore. "
— Psalms 38:2, American Standard Version
“For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.”
“For your arrows have pierced me, your hand presses hard on me.”
“For your arrows pierce me, and your hand presses me down.”
“I said: I will take heed to my ways: that I sin not with my tongue. I have set a guard to my mouth, when the sinner stood against me.”
“For your arrows have gone into my flesh, and I am crushed under the weight of your hand.”
“For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.”
O Jehovah, rebuke me not in thy wrath; Neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
For thine arrows stick fast in me, And thy hand presseth me sore.
There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.
For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
My wounds are loathsome and corrupt, Because of my foolishness.
