Psalms 38:7
5 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.
For my loins are full of burning pain, and no soundness remains in my body.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
