For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 38 of Psalms. Psalm 38 presents physical suffering, guilt, and social isolation within a single penitential prayer. The psalmist’s wounds are interpreted in relation to his sin, but the text does not reduce all human illness to a mechanical explanation: the center is the plea for mercy. Friends and enemies become part of the anguish, while the psalmist maintains an attitude of waiting before God and ends by asking the Lord not to be far away.

Es ist nichts Gesundes an meinem Leibe vor deinem Drohen und ist kein Friede in meinen Gebeinen vor meiner Sünde.
Porque mis iniquidades han pasado mi cabeza: Como carga pesada se han agravado sobre mí.
Porque mis culpas sobrepasan mi cabeza; como una carga pesada, pesan demasiado para mí.
Car mes iniquités s'élèvent au-dessus de ma tête; Comme un lourd fardeau, elles sont trop pesantes pour moi.
Perciocchè le mie iniquità trapassano il mio capo; Sono a guisa di grave peso, son pesanti più che io non posso portare.
Pois já as minhas iniqüidades sobrepassam a minha cabeça; como carga pesada são demais para as minhas forças.
我的罪孽高過我的頭, 如同重擔叫我擔當不起。
