Psalms 38:5
3 There is no soundness in my body because of Your anger; there is no rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 For my iniquities have overwhelmed me; they are a burden too heavy to bear.
My wounds are foul and festering because of my sinful folly.
6 I am bent and brought low; all day long I go about mourning.
7 For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
