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

Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees;

And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

When I wept, {and chastened} my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, {which} is a witness {against me}: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.

When I wept, {and chastened} my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
