Psalm 38:4–5

4 For my iniquities have gone over my head;

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

5 My wounds stink and fester

because of my foolishness,

4 For mine iniquities are gone over mine head:

As an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds stink and are corrupt

Because of my foolishness.

4 My guilt overwhelms me—

it is a burden too heavy to bear.

5 My wounds fester and stink

because of my foolish sins.

4 For my iniquities have gone over my head;

Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds are foul and festering

Because of my foolishness.

4 My guilt has overwhelmed me;

like a load it weighs me down.

5 My sores stink and become infected

because I was foolish.

4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head:

As a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds are loathsome and corrupt,

Because of my foolishness.

4 For mine iniquities are gone over my head: as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me. 5 My wounds stink, they are corrupt, because of my foolishness.

4 My guilt has overwhelmed me. 

Like a heavy load, it is more than I can bear. 

5 My wounds smell rotten. 

They fester because of my stupidity. 

4 For my sins have flooded over my head;

they are a burden too heavy for me to bear.

5 My wounds are foul and festering

because of my foolishness.

4 For my iniquities have gone over my head;

they weigh like a burden too heavy for me.

5 My wounds grow foul and fester

because of my foolishness;

4 For my iniquities have passed over my head;

like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

5 My wounds start to stink; they rot

because of my foolishness.

4 My guilt has become too much for me.

It is a load too heavy to carry.

5 My wounds are ugly. They stink.

I’ve been foolish. I have sinned.

4 For my iniquities are gone over my head;

As a heavy burden they weigh too much for me.

5 My wounds grow foul and fester

Because of my folly.
