Psalms 38:9
7 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.
O Lord, my every desire is before You; my groaning is not hidden from You.
10 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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
