I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.

Verse 8 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.

Denn meine Lenden verdorren ganz, und ist nichts Gesundes an meinem Leibe.
Estoy debilitado y molido en gran manera; Bramo a causa de la conmoción de mi corazón.
Estoy entumecido y completamente aplastado; rujo por la agitación de mi corazón.
Je suis sans force, entièrement brisé; Le trouble de mon coeur m'arrache des gémissements.
Io son tutto fiacco e trito; Io ruggisco per il fremito del mio cuore.
Estou fraco e mui quebrantado; tenho rugido pela inquietação do meu coração.
我被壓碎,身心虛弱; 因心裏痛苦,我就呻吟。
