I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

Verse 6 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.

Meine Wunden stinken und eitern vor meiner Torheit.
Estoy encorvado, estoy humillado en gran manera, Ando enlutado todo el día.
Estoy encorvado y profundamente abatido; todo el día ando de duelo.
Je suis courbé, abattu au dernier point; Tout le jour je marche dans la tristesse.
Io son tutto travolto e piegato; Io vo attorno tuttodì vestito a bruno;
Estou encurvado, estou muito abatido, ando lamentando todo o dia.
我疼痛,大大蜷曲, 整日哀痛。
