"I was silenced and humbled, and I was quiet before good things, and my sorrow was renewed. "
— Psalms 38:3, Catholic Public Domain Version
“There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.”
“There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine indignation; Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin. ”
“There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.”
“My whole body is sick because of your judgment; I am deprived of health because of my sin.”
“I was dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from good things: and my sorrow was renewed.”
“My flesh is wasted because of your wrath; and there is no peace in my bones because of my sin.”
“There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.”
Unto the end. For Jeduthun himself. A Canticle of David.
I said, “I will keep to my ways, so that I will not offend with my tongue.” I posted a guard at my mouth, when a sinner took up a position against me.
I was silenced and humbled, and I was quiet before good things, and my sorrow was renewed.
My heart grew hot within me, and, during my meditation, a fire would flare up.
I spoke with my tongue, “O Lord, make me know my end, and what the number of my days will be, so that I may know what is lacking to me.”
Behold, you have made my days measurable, and, before you, my substance is as nothing. Yet truly, all things are vanity: every living man.
