like a heavy burden, they are too heavy for me.

and your blows are crushing me.

Because of your anger, my whole body is sick;

My wounds fester and stink

because of my foolish sins.

because of my foolishness.

KJV 1900King James Version

For thine arrows stick fast in me,

And thy hand presseth me sore.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger;

Neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

For mine iniquities are gone over mine head:

As an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

My wounds stink and are corrupt

Because of my foolishness.
