Context of Psalms 38:10
8For my heart is filled with burning pain, and there is no health in my body. 9I am numb and utterly crushed. I groan because of anguish in my heart. My Lord, all my longing is before You, and my sighing is not hidden from You. 11My heart pounds, my strength fails me. The light of my eyes—also, not with me. 12My friends and my companions stay away from my wound, and my kinsmen stand far off.
