Lord, all my desire is before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.

Verse 9 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 mir gar anders denn zuvor, und ich bin sehr zerstoßen. Ich heule vor Unruhe meines Herzens.
Señor, delante de ti están todos mis deseos; Y mi suspiro no te es oculto.
Señor, ante ti está todo mi anhelo y mis suspiros no te están ocultos.
Seigneur! tous mes désirs sont devant toi, Et mes soupirs ne te sont point cachés.
Signore, ogni mio desiderio è nel tuo cospetto; Ed i miei sospiri non ti sono occulti.
Senhor, diante de ti está todo o meu desejo, e o meu gemido não te é oculto.
主啊,我的心願都在你面前, 我的嘆息不向你隱瞞。
