Psalms 38:5 Context
3There is no soundnesse in my flesh, because of thine anger: neither is there any rest in my bones, because of my sinne. 4For mine iniquities are gone ouer mine head: as an heauy burden, they are too heauie for me. 5My wounds stinke, and are corrupt: because of my foolishnesse. 6I am troubled, I am bowed downe greatly; I goe mourning all the day long. 7For my loynes are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundnesse in my flesh.
