Verse 5 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.
