By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 102 of Psalms. Psalm 102 is a prayer from someone deeply afflicted who nevertheless keeps his eyes fixed on God’s permanence. The individual’s fragility is compared to dried grass and a declining shadow, while the Lord remains. The restoration of Zion acquires a generational dimension: future generations will know the glory of God. The contrast between mortality and eternity constitutes the theological axis of the psalm.

Mein Herz ist geschlagen und verdorrt wie Gras, daß ich auch vergesse, mein Brot zu essen.
Por la voz de mi gemido Mis huesos se han pegado a mi carne.
Por tanto gemir, mis huesos se han pegado a mi carne.
Mes gémissements sont tels Que mes os s'attachent à ma chair.
Le mie ossa sono attaccate alla mia carne, Per la voce de’ miei gemiti.
Por causa da voz do meu gemido os meus ossos se apegam à minha pele.
因我嘆息的聲音, 我的肉緊貼骨頭。
