Whereas ye know not what {shall be} on the morrow. For what {is} your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. {It...: or, For it is}

From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate {and} faint all the day.

But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD {shall be} as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. {the fat: Heb. the preciousness}

My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; {yet} do I not forget thy statutes.

My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.

I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. {out of...: or, sundered}

{There is} no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither {is there any} rest in my bones because of my sin. {rest: Heb. peace, or, health}

Whereas ye know not what {shall be} on the morrow. For what {is} your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. {It...: or, For it is}

A merry heart doeth good {like} a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones. {like: or, to}

But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD {shall be} as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away. {the fat: Heb. the preciousness}

My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

[A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.] O God, thou {art} my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; {thirsty: Heb. weary} {where...: without water}

My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids {is} the shadow of death;

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah.

As many were astonied at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:

Their visage is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: their skin cleaveth to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick. {blacker...: Heb. darker than blackness}

For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.

I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim; I water my couch with my tears. {all...: or, every night}

My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; {yet} do I not forget thy statutes.

Therefore is my spirit overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is desolate.

My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate {and} faint all the day.

My days {are} like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

For my loins are filled with a loathsome {disease}: and {there is} no soundness in my flesh.

Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, {yea}, my soul and my belly.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who {is} like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones {that} were not seen stick out.

My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. {and to: or, as to}

I may tell all my bones: they look {and} stare upon me.

{There is} no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither {is there any} rest in my bones because of my sin. {rest: Heb. peace, or, health}

When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
