Psalms 38:10

8 I am numb and badly crushed; I groan in anguish of heart.

9 O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.

My heart pounds, my strength fails, and even the light of my eyes has faded.

11 My beloved and friends shun my disease, and my kinsmen stand at a distance.

12 Those who seek my life lay snares; those who wish me harm speak destruction, plotting deceit all day long.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
