Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones.

因我唉哼的声音，我的肉紧贴骨头。

因我叹息的声音，我的肉紧贴骨头。

因我叹息的声音，我的肉紧贴骨头。

我因哀叹而瘦骨嶙峋。

因我唉哼的声音，我就渐渐消瘦（“我就渐渐消瘦”原文作“我的骨头紧贴着肉”）。

因我叹息的声音，我的皮包着骨头。

因我唉哼的聲音，我的肉緊貼骨頭。

因我嘆息的聲音，我的肉緊貼骨頭。

因我嘆息的聲音，我的肉緊貼骨頭。

我因哀歎而瘦骨嶙峋。

因我歎息的聲音，我的骨頭僅僅貼着皮肉。

因我嘆息的聲音，我的皮包著骨頭。

發聲呻吟、膚革貼骨兮、

余欷歔靡已、形消骨立、膚革僅存兮、

因哀號歎息、肌肉貼骨、

我心如秋草。萎顇不復鮮。遑遑若有失。無意沾盤餐。

In my distress I groan aloud and am reduced to skin and bones.

I groan out loud because of my suffering. I’m nothing but skin and bones.

Because of my loud groaning my bones cling to my flesh.

Because of the sound of my groaning, my flesh sticks to my bones.

Because of the loudness of my groaning My bones cling to my flesh.

Because of the sound of my groaning My bones cling to my skin.

By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.

By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

Because of the anxiety that makes me groan, my bones protrude from my skin.

By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones stick to my skin.

I have been reduced to skin and bones and have escaped death by the skin of my teeth.

But now their faces are blacker than soot. No one recognizes them in the streets. Their skin sticks to their bones; it is as dry and hard as wood.

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength.

Go away, all you who do evil, for the Lord has heard my weeping.

When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long.Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude

I am exhausted and completely crushed. My groans come from an anguished heart.You know what I long for, Lord; you hear my every sigh.My heart beats wildly, my strength fails, and I am going blind.

I am worn out from sobbing. All night I flood my bed with weeping, drenching it with my tears.
