Psalms 38:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 38:8

6 I am¹ troubled, I am bowed down greatly;
I go mourning all the day long.

7 For my loins are full of inflammation,
And there is no soundness in my flesh.

8 I am feeble and severely broken;
I groan because of the turmoil of my heart.

9 Lord, all my desire is before You;
And my sighing is not hidden from You.

10 My heart pants, my strength fails me;
As for the light of my eyes, it also has gone from me.
