"My heart grew hot within me, and, during my meditation, a fire would flare up. "
— Psalms 38:4, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.”
“For mine iniquities are gone over my head: As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. ”
“For my iniquities have gone over my head. As a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.”
“For my sins overwhelm me; like a heavy load, they are too much for me to bear.”
“My heart grew hot within me: and in my meditation a fire shall flame out.”
“For my crimes have gone over my head; they are like a great weight which is more than my strength.”
“For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.”
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.
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.
