3 When I kept silent,

my bones wasted away

through my groaning all day long.

4 For day and night

your hand was heavy on me;

my strength was sapped

as in the heat of summer.

3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away

through my groaning all day long.

4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;

my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah

3 When I kept silence, my bones waxed old

Through my roaring all the day long.

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:

My moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

3 When I kept silent, my bones grew old

Through my groaning all the day long.

4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;

My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.

Selah

3 When I kept things to myself,

I felt weak deep inside me.

I moaned all day long.

4 Day and night you punished me.

My strength was gone as in the summer heat.

Selah

3 When I kept silence, my bones wasted away

Through my groaning all the day long.

4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me:

My moisture was changed as with the drought of summer. Selah

3 When I kept silent ⸤about my sins⸥, 

my bones began to weaken because of my groaning all day long. 

4 Day and night your hand laid heavily on me. 

My strength shriveled in the summer heat. 

Selah

from my groaning all day long.

as in the summer’s heat. Selah

my body became weak

because I groaned all day long.

as I do in the heat of summer. Selah

Through my groaning all day long.
