Have mercy upon me, O Jehovah, for I am in trouble; my eye has wasted away with grief; even my soul and my belly.

For my life has been spent with grief, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones have wasted away.

My heart pants; my strength fails me; as for the light of my eyes, it also is gone from me.

my eye has become faint because of affliction. Jehovah, I have called daily upon You; I have stretched out my hands unto You.

My eye has also grown dim because of sorrow, and all my members are like shadows.

Our heart is faint because of this; our eyes are dim because of these things.

When I kept silent, my bones wore out through my roaring all day long.
